The Republic of PLJ is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Eternal Peace with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.211 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 86.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient PLJian economy, worth 203 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 92,114 florins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The 'kind of scrawny' 500 meter hurdle is a popular event, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, newspapers are running a front-page picture of Eternal Peace holding a crowbar and standing over a bloodied stockbroker, and police aim to defeat hatred with love with their "hugs-for-thugs" program. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded 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 12,222^nd in the world and 713^th in Balder for Safest, scoring 118.83 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
