The Technological Monarchy of Plangainer is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Simon Smith with a fair hand, and renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, avant-garde cinema, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.314 billion Plangainerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Folkhul. The average income tax rate is 69.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plangainerian economy, worth 155 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 118,427 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal, retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites, astronomers are flocking to Plangainer to take advantage of its clear night skies, and paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black. Crime is totally unknown. Plangainer's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plangainer is ranked 63,778^th in the world and 3,315^th in The North Pacific for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 1,592.9 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
