The Federation of Nude Platypus

"The Federation of Nude Platypus is a small, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its complete lack of prisons. Its hard-nosed population of 14 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The tiny government concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and the Environment are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 9%, but much higher for the wealthy. A large private sector is led by the Gambling industry, followed by Information Technology and Pizza Delivery.

The platypus is a protected species, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and euthanasia is legal.
