The Paz Perpetua of Rio Paraguay is a massive, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, democratic, devout population of 1.257 billion Paraguayan 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, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 39.1%.

The Paraguayan economy, worth 53.8 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,831 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, friendly fire incidents usually result in severe burns, the tightness of border controls in Rio Paraguay leave a little to be desired, and crime suspects are forced to submit to blood testing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rio Paraguay's national animal is the surubí, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Rio Paraguay is ranked 42,382^nd in the world and 22^nd in Callista for Safest, scoring 105.1 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
