The Rad Brad Empire of Plasma is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Supreme Leader Brad with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, triple-decker prams, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.629 billion Plasmata are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Citadel. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Plasmas economy, worth a remarkable 2,169 trillion Pizza Partieses a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 251,473 Pizza Partieses, with the richest citizens earning 8.5 times as much as the poorest.

Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, running a hot dog stand is harder than achieving a doctorate, 'To Regulate And Beyond' is the unofficial motto of the Plasmas Space Agency, and the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plasma's national animal is the Nintendo 64, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Macarena.

Plasma is ranked 266,477^th in the world and 204^th in Karma for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -8.94 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
