The Republic of Paraselene is a very large, safe nation, notable for its vat-grown people, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-working, cynical population of 473 million Paraseleneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackal Grove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.3%.

The all-consuming Paraselenean economy, worth 47.4 trillion omegas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 100,110 omegas, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Doctors are trying to diagnose diseases by looking at their patients' Snipchat pictures, the military is recruiting war criminals to join its weapons research teams, the secret service is working overtime to find anyone publishing unauthorized material about Leader, and wandering Paraseleneans are known for their one-track minds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paraselene's national animal is the Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paraselene is ranked 112,633^rd in the world and 40^th in Estalcia for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 2,529.61 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
