The Online MMO of Digital Planets is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Administrator with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 14.035 billion Planeteers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Digital Chicago. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Planeteer economy, worth 733 trillion Credits a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Trout Farming, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,227 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust, the mob vote is a crucial electoral demographic, the government thinks Planeteers can achieve social cohesion by drinking soda together, and retirement homes are often fitted with luxurious suites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Digital Planets's national animal is the Cybercat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Digital Planets is ranked 261,721st in the world and 11,333rd in Lazarus for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring -4.88 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
