The Communist state of Planfair is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by leader jozef with an iron fist, and notable for its state-planned economy, anti-smoking policies, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.409 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 276 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 122,669^th in the world and 6,558^th in Lazarus for Most Developed, scoring 58.24 on the Human Development Index.
