The Secularist Republic of Parharia is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Parhar with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, digital currency, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.065 billion Parharians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parharia City. The average income tax rate is 84.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parharian economy, worth 289 trillion Parharian Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 140,395 Parharian Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Lottery winners spend most of their money on security, the banshee wail foretells skies of death, ambitious "businessmen" use their children to sell and advertise their products, and airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parharia's national animal is the White Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parharia is ranked 21,143^rd in the world and 317^th in Europe for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 7,820.05 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
