The Autonomous Republic of Paramin is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by State Mediator Julius Wahkapum with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 3.482 billion Paraminians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pasuran. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Paraminian economy, worth 219 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 63,030 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Racial and religious segregation has become rife as the various groups are loath to mingle, the nation's universities are often mistaken for foreign embassies, emergency vehicles have built-in nudge bars to give uncooperative drivers a "gentle" push, and legend has it State Mediator Julius Wahkapum's shower singing echoes through the halls of government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paramin's national animal is the panther, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Paramin is ranked 121,797^th in the world and 30^th in Osagh for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 4,302.71 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
