Nation/Plateoland

The Principality of Plateoland is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.72 billion Plateolandians 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 large government prioritizes Education, with Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense also on the agenda, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Da City. The average income tax rate is 78.8%.

The all-consuming Plateolandian economy, worth 996 trillion groats a year, is quite specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 148,362 groats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Haggis are considered a delicacy, the mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, refugees from other nations are flocking to Plateoland's border, and the suicide rate mysteriously skyrockets during census years. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plateoland's national animal is the haggis, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Plateoland is ranked 34,047th in the world and 941st in The East Pacific for Nudest, with 186 Cheeks Per Square Mile.
