The Free Land of Kushinas Parrots is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ismo Kullervo Saarinen with a fair hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, avowedly heterosexual populace, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.47 billion Parrotianis 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mentri Maestosu. The average income tax rate is 67.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Kushinas Parrotsian economy, worth 408 trillion doploons 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. 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 165,262 doploons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Government officials are phoning up good-looking celebrities to say they want to breed with them, the military has gone fission for more funding, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned parrotball fields, and visiting the best Kushinas Parrotsian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file. Crime is relatively low. Kushinas Parrots's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
Kushinas Parrots is ranked 14,815th in the world and 17th in Nordic Lands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 5,998.76 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
