The Technological Monarchy of Plangainer is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Kevin Bradley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, smutty television, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.225 billion Plangainerians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, 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 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plangainerian economy, worth 396 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 122,899 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

A primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, distrust of taps has many people bathing only with bottled mineral water, and the election for Kevin Bradley's office's janitor is heating up. Crime is totally unknown. Plangainer's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Catholic Christianity.

Plangainer is ranked 75,399^th in the world and 3,865^th in The North Pacific for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 2,655.37 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
