The Serene Positivity of Plus is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrPlus with an even hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, anti-smoking policies, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 21.215 billion Plusians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of PlusCity. The average income tax rate is 83.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Plusian economy, worth a remarkable 2,118 trillion signs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 99,841 signs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Patriots insist that size does matter, children usually cry on their first day of school, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, and the phrase "you might think that but I couldn't possibly comment" is the closest you'll get to a straight answer from Plusian politicians. Crime is a serious problem, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Plus's national animal is the crab, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is Atheism.

Plus is ranked 3,653^rd in the world and 16^th in Nederland for Most Primitive, scoring 144.12 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
