“The Shining City Upon A Hill”

The Conservative United States of Holy Paradise is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by President John Holtz with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program. Its compassionate, hard-working, intelligent population of 10.446 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Education. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Paradise City. Income tax is unheard of. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Arms Manufacturing.

The police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system, recruitment posters proclaim the army to be both fabulous and fashionable, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Paradise's national animal is the angel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gold coin.

Holy Paradise is ranked 747th in the region and 53,554th in the world for Largest Basket Weaving Sector.
