The Republic of Paravdija is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 126 million Paravdijans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 10.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Paravdijan economy, worth 6.20 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 49,231 Euros, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's politicians are acknowledged as the most polite in the region to the dismay of comedians everywhere, workers can choose whether they prefer offices that smell of pungent body odor or whale vomit, drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking, and on-duty Air Paravdija flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class. Crime is totally unknown. Paravdija's national animal is the wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paravdija is ranked 43,202^nd in the world and 479^th in Europe for Most Cultured, scoring 74 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
