The Armed Republic of Paragyat is a massive, orderly nation, renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, zero percent divorce rate, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 1.274 billion Paragyatoes are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puerto Paragyato. The average income tax rate is 59.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Paragyatian economy, worth 75.6 trillion Pesos 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 Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. 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 59,357 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

The only places to see Boars now are at local zoos, the wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, tourists visiting the nation are warned not to drink local tap water, and Leader has been known to threaten dissenting citizens with a machine gun at press conferences. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paragyat's national animal is the Boar, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Paragyat is ranked 267,932^nd in the world and 8,150^th in Osiris for Fattest Citizens, with 7.28 Obesity Rate.
