The Grumpy Cats of Paranoidia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Supreme Leader with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 3.216 billion 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Commerce. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Alpha Complex. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, followed by Automobile Manufacturing and Information Technology.

Many of the country's largest dumps can be seen from space, bicyclists are banned from major roads, the government is promoting multicultural values with the new 'Just Be Nice, OK?' initiative, and priests are being drafted by the church load. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paranoidia's national animal is the Grumpy Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Paranoia, and its currency is the No.

Paranoidia is ranked 22nd in The Genesis Corporation and 29,493rd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 24 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
