The Devout Zealots of Democratic Paramore is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Ron Swanson with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.343 billion Democratic Paramoreans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Spirituality and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stache Mu City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.1%.

The powerhouse Democratic Paramorean economy, worth 138 trillion Dollars 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 Retail, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 102,953 Dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 454,125 per year while the poor average 14,626, a ratio of 31.0 to 1.

Even God cannot save you in Democratic Paramore, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, gun owners are skilled at everything except shooting, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Democratic Paramore's national animal is the Vampire Cassowary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Democratic Paramore is ranked 113,034th in the world and 58th in Texas for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 1,101.9 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
