The Watchers of Parakka Southland is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Clement Attlee with an iron fist, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 20.851 billion Watchers 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 medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Parakka Southlandian economy, worth 859 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 41,206 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians are forced to vote with their party leaders, the nation has gained millions of new citizens overnight, torture is commonly used to extract information from suspected criminals, and according to the latest national census as many as two-thirds of the respondents possibly consider 'violet' their favorite color. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parakka Southland's national animal is the Eagle, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parakka Southland is ranked 143,736^th in the world and 1^st in Sentagon for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,156.89 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
