The Empire of Pflanzia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Emperor Leon the Young with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, parental licensing program, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 22.117 billion Pflanzians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Plantinis City. The average income tax rate is 99.5%.
The very strong Pflanzian economy, worth a remarkable 3,827 trillion Pflanzes a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 173,034 Pflanzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.
Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, excited shovel-bearing geeks wander the countryside, military doctrine says not to open fire until you see the "beady little eyes" of Johnny Foreigner, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pflanzia's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholic.
Pflanzia is ranked 40,756th in the world and 361st in Balder for Most Stationary, with 1,105.365959232 days.
