The Multinational State of Sur Plata is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Lider Christopher Andre Filipe with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, aversion to nipples, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.889 billion Platans are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Córdoba. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.4%.

The all-consuming Platan economy, worth 281 trillion Platan Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 97,598 Platan Pesos, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Artists regularly face criminal charges and art-burning parties are common, the nation's new currency features full-length portraits of Lider Christopher Andre Filipe in ermine and velvet garb, young soldiers are shocked to discover there are no 'safe spaces' on a battlefield, and professional athletes can't see balls amid the deluge of advertisements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Sur Plata's national animal is the hornero, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Neo-Catholic Church.

Sur Plata is ranked 313,579^th in the world and 14^th in Negative for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -7.07 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
