The Pubs of Parkplace is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its parental licensing program. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 18.403 billion enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although the Environment and Education are secondary priorities. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ParrrrTay City. The average income tax rate is 49%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Extreme political groups are outlawed, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, and traffic jams are a common sight due to construction work from a massive overhaul of the nation's freeways. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parkplace's national animal is the Chocolate Snow Bear, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Daquires.

Parkplace is ranked 94th in Canada and 75,422nd in the world for Most Extreme, scoring 15 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
