The Puddle of Socialist Platypus is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Robert Plater with an even hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 8.727 billion Platypusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Typus. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.
The frighteningly efficient Socialist Platypusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,366 trillion Rovas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,629 Rovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, a government program is underway to revitalize Socialist Platypus's beaches, the national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, and weather forecasts are accurate but nobody has the bandwidth to view them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Platypus's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Pastafarism.
Socialist Platypus is ranked 289,621st in the world and 333rd in Conch Kingdom for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.32 kickbacks per hour.
