The United Socialist States of Para Site is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 68 million Para Siteans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 22.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Para Sitean economy, worth 2.53 trillion blood cells 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 Beef-Based Agriculture, Soda Sales, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 37,249 blood cells, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Para Site's national animal is the parasite.

Para Site is ranked 124,634^th in the world and 3^rd in NationStates ARGs for Highest Poor Incomes, with 26,130.29 Standard Monetary Units.
