The Republic of PLJ is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Eternal Peace with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.172 billion PLJians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of HTC. The average income tax rate is 83.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PLJian economy, worth 194 trillion florins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,645 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Hypochondriacs demand treatment for genetic disorders they don't have, politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems, customs officers pretend not to hear shouts of "HELP LET ME OUT!" emerging from diplomatic bags, and board shorts have replaced board rooms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. PLJ's national animal is the Dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

PLJ is ranked 248,509^th in the world and 8,458^th in Balder for Most Primitive, scoring -147.05 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
