The Pilgrim Republic of Parvus Viridia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Public Servant with a fair hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, compulsory military service, and prohibition of alcohol. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 4.918 billion Parvus Viridians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Mary. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Parvus Viridian economy, worth 675 trillion shillings a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 137,450 shillings, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.
