The Republic of Paraselene is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its frequent executions, strictly enforced bedtime, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-working, cynical population of 468 million Paraseleneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackal Grove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.9%.

The all-consuming Paraselenean economy, worth 45.9 trillion omegas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is 98,146 omegas, with the richest citizens earning 7.6 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens need to demonstrate a complete set of dental records to throw five bucks in a hobo's hat, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, Paraselenean-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, and immigration test hopefuls are taught immigrant blood is purple. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paraselene's national animal is the Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paraselene is ranked 150,846^th in the world and 47^th in Estalcia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 8,225.84 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
