The Federation of Platinum Skills is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Murphy Lee with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 11.389 billion Platinums enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mos Eisley. The average income tax rate is 14.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Platinum economy, worth a remarkable 1,267 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 111,329 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', factories grind to a halt every time there is an election, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents. Crime is almost non-existent. Platinum Skills's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rastafarian.

Platinum Skills is ranked 135,061^st in the world and 118^th in Wintreath for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 2,127.95 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
