The Democratic States of Pard Riversoopia is a massive, pleasant nation, renowned for its closed borders, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, devout population of 1.4 billion Pard Riversoopians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Law & Order, and Spirituality are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 57.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Pard Riversoopian economy, worth 105 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Pizza Delivery, and Gambling. Average income is 74,690 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Angry citizens complain that there isn't enough geographical diversity on the new banknotes, the number of eyes rolled per maths lesson is increasing exponentially, landless farmers wander forlornly in the government's many national parks, and seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pard Riversoopia's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pard Riversoopia is ranked 268,484^th in the world and 10,640^th in Osiris for Nicest Citizens, with 2.76 average smiles per day.
