The Holy Realm of Parvacoetia is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Viceroy Charles XV with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, complete lack of prisons, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 11.746 billion Parvacoetians 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esch-sur-Alzette. The average income tax rate is 37.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parvacoetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,250 trillion Septims a year, is highly specialized and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,492 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Female brains are believed to heat up dangerously when 'overclocked', foreign spirits are hard to find due to an abundance of "Cletus and Jim Bob's Homemade Parvacoetian Moonshine", etiquette guides advise visitors to 'grovel gracefully', and the nation's taxpayers pay for foreign governments' extravagances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parvacoetia's national animal is the gryphon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Parvacoetia is ranked 283,557th in the world and 10,727th in Lazarus for Nicest Citizens, with 0.35 average smiles per day.
