The Democratic States of Pletho is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Luke Nelson with an even hand, and renowned for its daily referendums, keen interest in outer space, and complete lack of prisons. The compassionate population of 949 million Plethoans 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Dienise. The average income tax rate is 56.9%.

The all-consuming Plethoan economy, worth 85.2 trillion Zippos a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 89,807 Zippos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Plethoan police have to pay out of their own pockets for bulletproof vests, the Smalltopian embassy doubles as an electoral campaign headquarters, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, and no one over the age of 35 has the slightest clue what is going on. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pletho's national animal is the Plethorian Chameleon, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pletho is ranked 86,668^th in the world and 92^nd in Forest for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,219.72 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
