The Dominion of Parallax is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Potentate Vale with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.714 billion Parallaxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Erudite. The average income tax rate is 90.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parallaxian economy, worth 447 trillion Spectrals a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 120,561 Spectrals, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation is relieved that all of the recent madness has finally come to an end, science fiction is seen as the leading cause of mental breakdowns, cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, and elections are won by the candidate who makes the best 'yo mama' jokes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parallax's national animal is the Basilisk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Lookism.

Parallax is ranked 166,831st in the world and 3,255th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 111.306178764 days.
