The Communist state of Planfair is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by leader jozef with an iron fist, and renowned for its ban on automobiles, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.174 billion Planfairians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of planfair city. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Planfairian economy, worth 256 trillion flubygabels 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 Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. 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 80,940 flubygabels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, and mandatory spouse selection pairs elderly apparatchiki with stunningly beautiful supermodels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Planfair's national animal is the snail, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is communist.

Planfair is ranked 62,380^th in the world and 3,756^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 71.32 law-abiding acts per hour.
