The Not incompetent like Alex of East Planes is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Malina de Salvo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 5.525 billion Samareños love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Biringan. The average income tax rate is 97.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Samareño economy, worth 968 trillion Pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 175,251 Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains, weekly religious services often resemble campaign rallies, government negotiators never forget to say "pretty please" when begging for custody of its criminals, and saying "don't do anything that Malina de Salvo wouldn't do" doesn't exclude a great deal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. East Planes's national animal is the Trilobite, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

East Planes is ranked 289,274^th in the world and 7,056^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Primitive, scoring -594.32 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
