The Plutocratic Shahdom of The Parthians is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Shah Khosru III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, daily referendums, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 37.437 billion Parthians enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order is also considered important, while Social Policy and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Persepolis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient The Parthian economy, worth an astonishing 14,341 trillion Rials a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 383,087 Rials, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,570,624 per year while the poor average 3,669, a ratio of 973 to 1.

It's always rabbit season, only the wealthy vote, Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, and the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Parthians's national animal is the Working Class, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Zoroastrianism.

The Parthians is ranked 245,081^st in the world and 28^th in Gholgoth for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1.33 Pounds Of Wildlife Per Square Mile.
