The United States of South Parter is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yame Kock M with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.633 billion South Parterians 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, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.7%.

The frighteningly efficient South Parterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,304 trillion Paelous a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 281,503 Paelous, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 802,525 per year while the poor average 78,740, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

The only thing that can pin down a "superhero" is red tape, in musicals everybody's a little bit racist, parents dread their examinations more than their children, and torture is illegal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Parter's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Parter is ranked 28,529^th in the world and 1,017^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 83.75 law-abiding acts per hour.
