The People's Republic of Parozia is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by President Friedrich Krause with a fair hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, rampant corporate plagiarism, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.43 billion Parozians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maravelle. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Parozian economy, worth 970 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 quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 219,114 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A light breeze is enough to make President Friedrich Krause fold, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, multiple polls have christened the newly-formed Filibuster Committee as "the least efficient government bureaucracy", and helping grandma with her Misgendering 101 homework is a national rite of passage. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parozia's national animal is the pudu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parozia is ranked 304,889^th in the world and 568^th in The UMNS for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -17.66 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
