The Empire of Parakka is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Emperor Luke Atreides with an even hand, and remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 23.87 billion Parakkans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Gar Jenna. The average income tax rate is 73.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parakkan economy, worth a remarkable 2,385 trillion Pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 99,930 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The army's use of chemical weapons leaves a bad taste in the mouth, orientation videos remind rookie female politicians that slaps on the bottom are perfectly acceptable forms of communication, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parakka's national animal is the Hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Jediism.

Parakka is ranked 18,178^th in the world and 1^st in Solar Alliance for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 324.95 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
