The Republic of Platino is a colossal, socially progressive nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, otherworldly petting zoo, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.17 billion Platinoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Platino. The average income tax rate is 1.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Platinoan economy, worth a remarkable 1,398 trillion Onzas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 270,512 Onzas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government's economic policy is "sort it yourself", being sent to collections is more dangerous than ever, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, and dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission. Crime is totally unknown. Platino's national animal is the Gato, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Platino is ranked 49,463^rd in the world and 1,091^st in the South Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 4,387.4 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
