The Imperial Republic of Aureum Paradisum is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Peter IX with an even hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and national health service. The compassionate, devout population of 9.801 billion Paradisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denegelia. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Paradisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,655 trillion Aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 168,882 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snap elections are called over every minor impasse, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Emperor Peter IX to meetings with foreign heads of state, abortions are routinely performed in the nation's hospitals, and the nation was recently voted "most likely to betray its allies". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aureum Paradisum's national animal is the Aureum Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deusism.

Aureum Paradisum is ranked 180,444^th in the world and 61^st in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Corrupt Governments, with 2.81 kickbacks per hour.
