The Republic of Parkno is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, devout population of 252 million Parknoans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 64.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Parknoan economy, worth 7.62 trillion Pelts a year, is quite specialized and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,252 Pelts, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Paralegals spend all day Hewlett-Packing attorneys' law briefs, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, the arms industry is strictly regulated, and adults pretending to be teenage girls claim to have wholesome motives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parkno's national animal is the Python, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parkno is ranked 48,509^th in the world and 152^nd in Carcassonne for Safest, scoring 103.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
