The Federation of Parisitan is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Nearl with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, pith helmet sales, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.54 billion Parisitanians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Korper. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parisitanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,663 trillion Bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 194,826 Bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Students are known to arrive at school in their pyjamas, violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, social networking sites have discussion groups devoted to planning terrorist attacks, and gift baskets often contain working nukes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parisitan's national animal is the Lepon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Ayinism.

Parisitan is ranked 100,173rd in the world and 1,226th in the West Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,818.24 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
