The Grand Duchy of The Plaxemat is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.496 billion Plaxematians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Land Down Under. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Plaxematian economy, worth 213 trillion Flendoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,548 Flendoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The phrase 'spreading like wildfire' is no longer in the public lexicon, where there's smoke there's the Plaxematian Forestry Department, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, and the government frequently panders to parents with boutique tax credits. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Plaxemat's national animal is the Cockroach, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

The Plaxemat is ranked 272,273^rd in the world and 3,717^th in the Pacific for Most Patriotic, with 0.7 flags saluted per person per day.
