The Free Land of Kushinas Parrots is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Ismo Kullervo Saarinen with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.381 billion Parrotianis 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, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mentri Maestosu. The average income tax rate is 67.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kushinas Parrotsian economy, worth 386 trillion doploons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 162,433 doploons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Billions of doploons are being poured into a space program, schoolchildren on field trips are asked what torture means to them, the seats at the back of the parliament are reserved for indigenous ministers, and a lot of number one hits are straight cover versions. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Kushinas Parrots's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kushinas Parrots is ranked 277,227^th in the world and 171^st in Nordic Lands for Most Pacifist, with 17.48 cheeks turned per day.
