The Borderlands of Par Fland is a huge, safe nation, renowned for its restrictive gun laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The devout population of 963 million Par Flandians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 44.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Par Flandian economy, worth 18.4 trillion pesos a year, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 19,090 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Par Fland's national animal is the elephant.

Par Fland is ranked 309,118^th in the world and 1^st in tods for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 10,690.67 Standard Monetary Units.
