The Federal Union of Plakkia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Urmat Galkin with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 8.714 billion Plakkians 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tunta. The average income tax rate is 72.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plakkian economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion korunas a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 131,175 korunas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, it's illegal to be caught on tape, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plakkia's national animal is the alpaca, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Plakkia is ranked 17,334^th in the world and 61^st in The Western Isles for Highest Food Quality, scoring 125.86 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
