The Confederacy of Parco is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bork with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, ritual sacrifices, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.227 billion Parcoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Parcoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,052 trillion pie pieces a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 126,488 pie pieces, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, many friends and relatives of Bork have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Parco's national animal is the monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Centrifuge.

Parco is ranked 20,891^st in the world and 16^th in Autropolis for Smartest Citizens, with 60.27 quips per hour.
