The Second Republic of Parouty is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ċam S Huệ with a fair hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 3.676 billion Paroutiyans 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hanoi. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Parout economy, worth 617 trillion Accas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 168,036 Accas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Parout watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, a little pushing and pulling is needed for big ships to pass, possession of tomato seeds with intent to garden is a criminal offence, and grinding bureaucracy has the international wheels of justice turning slowly. Crime is totally unknown. Parouty's national animal is the Giant Ibis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parouty is ranked 165,452^nd in the world and 2,620^th in The North Pacific for Most Conservative, scoring 55.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
