The High Imperial Republic of Paris City is a gargantuan, cultured nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 38.163 billion Parisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The large, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 63.3%.

The all-consuming Paris Cityian economy, worth a remarkable 2,639 trillion Francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 69,166 Francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

Paris City's famous countrysides are shrouded by wind farms, Paris City's schoolchildren are manufactured into a segregated bunch of soldiers, religious zealots, and computer technicians, city rooftops are pockmarked with the shattered remains of experimental delivery drones, and the nation has welcomed its expats back with open arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paris City's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Paris City is ranked 165,654^th in the world and 39^th in One big Island for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 58.93 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
