The Republic of Plotxxv is a massive, efficient nation, renowned for its public floggings, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-working population of 1.899 billion Plotxxvians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Plotxxvian economy, worth 162 trillion arils a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,788 arils, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship, prenuptial contracts have replaced diamond rings in marriage proposals, every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver, and no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plotxxv's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Plotxxv is ranked 56,088^th in the world and 71^st in ArilCards Inc for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 133.79 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
