The People's Republic of Parozia is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by President Friedrich Krause with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 4.454 billion Parozians 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Maravelle. The average income tax rate is 99.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Parozian economy, worth 976 trillion rubles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 219,221 rubles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, relations with Dàguó have warmed from frosty to chilly, President Friedrich Krause's told that love often manifests itself through homicidal four-lettered litanies, and doomscrolling is all the rage amongst the nation's teenagers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parozia's national animal is the pudu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parozia is ranked 2,180^th in the world and 1^st in The UMNS for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 11,766.74 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
