The Democratic Republic of Planes is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its national health service and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 311 million Planesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bombardier-Boeing-Airbus city. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Planesian economy, worth 19.2 trillion engines a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 61,617 engines, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The education system is being cleansed of all corporate influence, protest songs are the nation's de facto anthems, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and you can't put down the nation's attitude to pet health. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Planes's national animal is the syrian hamster, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Planes is ranked 113,646^th in the world and 6,066^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 33.26 on the Hayek Index.
