The Puddle of Anarchist Platypus is a massive, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.788 billion Anarchist Platypusians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.
The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Industry, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.9%.
The powerhouse Anarchist Platypusian economy, worth 371 trillion Flouzzes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 77,634 Flouzzes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 487,677 per year while the poor average 5,214, a ratio of 93.5 to 1.
Shanty towns are forming in the suburbs of major cities, factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, territories have the right to secede if they aren't happy, and business meetings across the country are interrupted by the sound of squeaking whoopee-cushions. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Anarchist Platypus's national animal is the Platypus, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Anarchist Platypus is ranked 137,836th in the world and 58th in Platypus Factory for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 2,278.09 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
