The Great Kingdom of Platonalandopolis is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Sumo Filósofo Rey with an iron fist, and remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, state-planned economy, and national health service. The compassionate, cynical, humorless, devout population of 17.948 billion Platonalandopolisians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Platonalandódemos. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Platonalandopolisian economy, worth a remarkable 3,670 trillion Drakmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an amazing 204,515 Drakmas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Squeaky high prepubescent voices recite the patriotic poem "Hail to The Leader!" before each meal, printing ink yields Geogénesis's biggest return on investment, military barracks resemble five-star hotels, and atheists are heavily taxed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Platonalandopolis's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Geogénesis.

Platonalandopolis is ranked 328,918th in the world and 5th in United Splendid Marmotlands for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring -30.13 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
