The Republic of Parisuana is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Magnus Ignatius Nero the first with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.1 billion parisuans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint-Laurent-de-Montaniagna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 32.0%.

The strong parsuan economy, worth 68.4 trillion EURS a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,161 EURS, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

Carpet bombing has decimated Brasilistan's landscape and population, the nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, those who don't have a bean to spend don't know a bean about Brasilistanian coffee beans, and scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parisuana's national animal is the Bamburia, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Parisuana is ranked 78,538^th in the world and 827^th in the West Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 2,709.31 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
