The Free Land of Parobland is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Parob III with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 1.173 billion Parobs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parobtopia. The average income tax rate is 46.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Parob economy, worth 35.7 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,437 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parob III has just been declared ruler of Parobland in an international press conference, fixing attendance at women's matches is a matter of "when they go low, we go high... funding", public projects are synonymous with yawn-inducing conformity, and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parobland's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Parobland is ranked 298,741st in the world and 23rd in Canada Land of the throne for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.72 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
