The Federation of Parisitan is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Nearl with an even hand, and notable for its otherworldly petting zoo, sprawling nuclear power plants, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.515 billion Parisitanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korper. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parisitanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,655 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 194,424 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parisitan's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, a passport is literally priceless, UFO sightings are listed daily in the morning news, and students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parisitan's national animal is the Lepon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ayinism.

Parisitan is ranked 127,662^nd in the world and 1,743^rd in the West Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,300.45 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
