The Empire of Parhomodas is a small, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working, cynical population of 36 million Parhomodasians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Public Transport. The average income tax rate is 40.1%.

The Parhomodasian economy, worth 1.50 trillion Pars a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,596 Pars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

The mining industry is making inroads into environmentally sensitive areas, Parhomodasians are free from pain - but the side effects include loss of individual thought and freedom, the subway is dead quiet in early afternoons, and patriotic parents remind their children to drink plenty of water. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parhomodas's national animal is the Phoenix, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Parhomodas is ranked 276,896^th in the world and 129^th in Gay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
