The Republic of Plangainer is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Kevin Bradley with a fair hand, and remarkable for its otherworldly petting zoo, national health service, and daily referendums.

The frighteningly efficient Plangainerian economy, worth a remarkable 1,235 trillion Plangainerian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 117,555 Plangainerian Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plangainer's national animal is the Golden Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
