The Grand Republic of Parouty is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President McAllister with a fair hand, and remarkable for its digital currency, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 6.341 billion Parouticans 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port Jewel. The average income tax rate is 67.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Parout economy, worth a remarkable 1,084 trillion Parouty Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 171,008 Parouty Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Polls predict that the hot favourites next election cycle are pop idols and cartoon characters, the economy is booming loud enough to drown out the cries of its digital labour, the government spends billions to retrieve millions worth of asteroid gold, and the government is spending serious cheddar protecting sewer rats. Crime is totally unknown. Parouty's national animal is the Swan, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parouty is ranked 17,821^st in the world and 392^nd in The North Pacific for Highest Average Incomes, with 171,008.22 Standard Monetary Units.
