The World of Books and Film of Marian Paroo is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its absence of drug laws and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.03 billion Librarians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and International Aid. The average income tax rate is 36.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant a Librarian economy, worth 96.4 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 3,565 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Marian Paroo's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Marian Paroo is ranked 140,980^th in the world and 3^rd in The Library for Most Primitive, scoring -48.99 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
