The Democratic Republic of Parurakt is a tiny, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 8 million Paruraktians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 40.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The weak Paruraktian economy, worth 205 billion Rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 25,734 Rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia, employees who skip lunch to avoid sub-par cafeteria food risk getting fired, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and it is against the rules of boxing to hit above or below the belt. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parurakt's national animal is the Elephant.

Parurakt is ranked 191,376^th in the world and 18^th in Elysion for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 82.32 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
