The Bannorn of Parren is a mammoth, socially progressive nation, ruled by Bann Lucco vos Parren with a fair hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-working, democratic, devout population of 9.55 billion Parrenians 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 relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Passo. The average income tax rate is 13.1%.

The strong Parrenian economy, worth 554 trillion kamas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 58,105 kamas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.5 times as much as the poorest.

Nano-lions are the current fad sweeping the nation, even God cannot save you in Parren, school uniforms are compulsory, and stores employing more than 100 employees are required to be at least twenty miles from any competitor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parren's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Maumiqism.
