The Republic of Paradis Island is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, parental licensing program, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 3.701 billion Paradis Islandians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 47.4%.

The all-consuming Paradis Islandian economy, worth 385 trillion Bits a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,295 Bits, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

School lunches are made with hypo-allergenic wood pulp, a cyber-war between file sharers and the music industry formats hard drives across the country, the military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", and Leader reduces citizens' commute times by giving away their homes.

Paradis Island's national animal is the Pony, which is also the nation's favorite main course.
