The Federation of Platinum Skills is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Murphy Lee with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, ubiquitous missile silos, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 10.201 billion Platinums enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mos Eisley. The average income tax rate is 48.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Platinum economy, worth a remarkable 1,257 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 123,247 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Political parties are banned from advertising and receiving private donations, the military has forsaken terrestrial warfare, prison visits increase substantially during election years, and citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens. Crime is totally unknown. Platinum Skills's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rastafarian.

Platinum Skills is ranked 17,311^th in the world and 47^th in Wintreath for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,126.54 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
