The Tyrannical Robot Empire of The Platypuses is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Platybot with an iron fist, and notable for its frequent executions, keen interest in outer space, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.989 billion Platypuses are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Undauntable City. The average income tax rate is 88.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Platypusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,260 trillion Platycoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 252,737 Platycoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, slavery is freedom, civil engineers are undermining sinkholes, and it isn't 'real music' without several cannons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Platypuses's national animal is the Naked Mole Rat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is High-Fiveism.

The Platypuses is ranked 5,713^th in the world and 1^st in Jimothy for Fattest Citizens, with 24.01 Obesity Rate.
