The Free States of Parasio is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.74 billion Parasíans enjoy great individual freedoms in everything except elections, which, where they exist at all, are populist shams for a dictatorship government that has no intention of ever giving up power.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, well-organized government, or what there is of one, is dominated by the Department of Defense, although Spirituality is also considered important, while International Aid and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elíseo. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Parasían economy, worth 99.1 trillion Parasían Pesos a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 56,950 Parasían Pesos, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 367,048 per year while the poor average 3,570, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Parasio has designated Elíseo as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Parasio's national animal is the Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Parasio is ranked 196,718^th in the world and 183^rd in Commonwealth of Sovereign States for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 488.36 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
