The Incorporated States of Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 809 million Parangarioans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Casita de los Héroes. The average income tax rate is 25.4%.

The powerhouse Parangario economy, worth 60.1 trillion Meteuros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Trout Farming, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 74,309 Meteuros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, Leader has been self-declared as the Most Supreme Magnificent Overlord of Everything You Ever Saw, the country is littered with broken homes, and sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro's national animal is the lion, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Nuevo San Juan Parangaricutiro is ranked 105,013^th in the world and 2,263^rd in the South Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 65.29 law-abiding acts per hour.
