The Kingdom of Parija is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.139 billion Parijans 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 large, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%.

The Parijan economy, worth 56.4 trillion Kwartniks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 49,497 Kwartniks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Old folks reminisce about the last time someone was acquitted of a crime, protesters are up in arms over new nuclear power stations, stolen Reuben sandwiches are met with detailed and thorough police investigations, and parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parija's national animal is the Lion.

Parija is ranked 73,464^th in the world and 2^nd in Snowdin for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,094.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
