The Kingdom of Paradisland is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 287 million Paradislandians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 61.1%.

The powerhouse Paradislandian economy, worth 27.1 trillion Coroa Federadas 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 94,465 Coroa Federadas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians spend a lot of time hanging around kids' playgrounds, councils up and down the country wrangle over legal matters, people believe that if you teach a man to fish he won't buy fish from you any more, and satellite images show safe electoral constituencies in complete darkness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradisland's national animal is the whale, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Paradisland is ranked 264,735^th in the world and 55^th in Arakeia for Most Beautiful Environments, with 209.49 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
