The Republic of Nueva Platina is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by Ronald Fonseca with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 12.732 billion Nueva Platinans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Education, although Defense, Healthcare, and Law & Order are also considered important, while Spirituality and Industry aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Buenos Aires. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The Nueva Platina economy, worth 768 trillion Peso Novoplatineos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 60,373 Peso Novoplatineos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 268,670 per year while the poor average 8,443, a ratio of 31.8 to 1.

The nation refuses to provide international aid, Nueva Platina has designated Buenos Aires as its capital city, the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one, and Ronald Fonseca has just been declared ruler of Nueva Platina in an international press conference. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Nueva Platina's national animal is the Hornero, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Nueva Platina is ranked 116,147th in the world and 32nd in Union Mundial for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
