The Portly Poultry of Plump Hen is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 40.32 billion Plump Henians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Plump Henian economy, worth 593 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 14,721 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plump Hen's national animal is the otter.

Plump Hen is ranked 179,393rd in the world and 10th in 100 Nations of Conquest for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
