The Republic of Plotxi is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, anti-smoking policies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.817 billion Plotxians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Plotxian economy, worth 205 trillion arils a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,074 arils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Nobody is allowed to stop the local daycare from reading Nietzsche to pre-schoolers, troops are either deafened by gunfire or a hysterical voice screaming the Party manifesto, artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plotxi's national animal is the rainbow jay, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Plotxi is ranked 40,357th in the world and 2,480th in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 5,178.11 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
