The Republic of Platino is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, complete lack of prisons, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 5.177 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 1,402 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 270,940 Onzas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, dozens of additional foreign policy specialists have been sent to the country's WA Mission, male tourists tend to be fearful of Platino's deadly femme fatales, and the nation has recently been attributed to the funding of terrorist organisations. Crime is totally unknown. Platino's national animal is the Gato, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Platino is ranked 62,179^th in the world and 1,016^th in the South Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 3,852.09 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
