The People's Republic of Parozia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Friedrich Krause with a fair hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.409 billion Parozians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maravelle. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Parozian economy, worth 964 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 218,849 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

President Friedrich Krause is strangely popular with male politicians' wives, nine out of ten citizens of Parozia answered 'nuclear safety inspector' when asked their occupation, political detractors refer to President Friedrich Krause as 'that Bigtopian puppet', and school teachers check the staff room for hidden webcams before complaining about rebellious students. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parozia's national animal is the pudu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parozia is ranked 1,188^th in the world and 1^st in The UMNS for Most Developed, scoring 98.42 on the Human Development Index.
