The Puddle of Socialist Platypus is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Robert Plater with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 8.526 billion Platypusians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Typus. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Socialist Platypusian economy, worth a remarkable 1,335 trillion Rovas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 156,609 Rovas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, bad punctuation has come to a full stop, every school is receiving a brand new eraser, and orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Socialist Platypus's national animal is the Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Pastafarism.

Socialist Platypus is ranked 283,644th in the world and 323rd in Conch Kingdom for Most Stationary, with 5.55508672252 days.
