The Buoyancy of Nationstates Platypus is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ducky Armadillo with a fair hand, and renowned for its fear of technology, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 6.457 billion Platypi are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Administration, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lazy Rivers. The average income tax rate is 97.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Platypi economy, worth 729 trillion lily pads a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,006 lily pads, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
The media seems excessively interested in what Ducky Armadillo is wearing this season, Nationstates Platypus's free colleges struggle to maintain standards in the face of overwhelming demand, goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter, and visiting dignitaries often end up cuddling in the hot tub with Ducky Armadillo. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nationstates Platypus's national animal is the Duck-Billed Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Splashing.
Nationstates Platypus is ranked 44,384th in the world and 3rd in Bunny and Eagle Land for Most Stationary, with 995.29274495668 days.
