The Empire of Pflanzia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Leon the Young with an iron fist, and notable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 22.345 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 thriving Pflanzian economy, worth a remarkable 3,873 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 173,362 Pflanzes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Universities are populated by the spawn of the upper classes, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, expensive lawyers are hired to defend citizens in court for public urination charges against their pets, and forgetting to pay your annual passport bill is a leading cause of deportations. 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 12,967^th in the world and 365^th in Balder for Largest Populations, with 22.3 billion capita.
