The Empire of Plyorus is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, unlimited-speed roads, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 881 million Rusmen are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Priávra. The average income tax rate is 28.9%.

The very strong Plyorussian economy, worth 62.3 trillion Goldmarks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 70,664 Goldmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, Leader's latest speech included a bizarre reference to MaxWow incontinence pads being 50% more absorbent than the next leading brand, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, and the fire protection service is wholly government-funded. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Plyorus's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Plyorus is ranked 128,341^st in the world and 93^rd in Mitteleuropa for Largest Governments, scoring 14.49 on the Bureaucratic Comprehensiveness Rating Scale Index.
