The Republic of Planad is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning hawk population. The hard-working, devout population of 9.063 billion Planadians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government prioritizes Spirituality, with Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare also on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 21.9%.

The Planadian economy, worth 408 trillion rubledollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,087 rubledollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Planad's national animal is the hawk, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Planad is ranked 165,727^th in the world and 1^st in The Smoking Section for Nicest Citizens, with 12 average smiles per day.
