The Kuiper Belt Republic of Plutolocus is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Plutone the V with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, vat-grown people, and digital currency. The compassionate population of 2.08 billion Plutonians 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 Healthcare, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Soyuz Colles City. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Plutolocusian economy, worth 225 trillion Tombaughs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,538 Tombaughs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government seizes all major gold finds, whenever pilots have to bail out the government bails out their company, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, and space research funding has hit a recent high while several military bases are being closed down. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plutolocus's national animal is the Eukaryotic Cell, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Freedom of Faith.

Plutolocus is ranked 276,783^rd in the world and 1,465^th in Europeia for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -9.59 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
