The United Republic of Plagriu is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Dinski Digient Dixon with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, unlimited-speed roads, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 3.604 billion Plagriuans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Dimber City. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plagriuan economy, worth 543 trillion Puris a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 150,727 Puris, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Plagriuan diplomacy is by the book, undersea volcanoes receive strongly worded letters for violating environmental regulations, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Plagriu's national animal is the Dragnor, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plagriu is ranked 135,628^th in the world and 18^th in Carcassonne for Largest Populations, with 3.60 billion capita.
