The Federation of Pluten is a massive, genial nation, remarkable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 3.29 billion Plutenians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pluteurbo. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Plutenian economy, worth 283 trillion plutes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 86,299 plutes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, dubiously qualified Skandilundian barristers keep referring to laws as 'government guidelines', Leader can cry on demand, and claiming that "my cousin said it was legal" is a common courtroom defense. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pluten's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Pluten is ranked 14,092^nd in the world and 56^th in Nordic Lands for Safest, scoring 117.17 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
