The Technocracy of Paragus is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its punitive income tax rates. Its hard-working, intelligent population of 7.459 billion are either ruled by a small, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it concentrates mainly on Education, although Commerce and Public Transport are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, followed by Book Publishing and Gambling.

Bizarre-looking creatures called 'Hippiedogs' dominate wildlife preserves, voting is compulsory, an increasing percentage of the population's youth have homosexual parents, and the people are famous throughout the region for their bleached-white teeth. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paragus's national animal is the Hippie, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the Paragan Dollar.

Paragus is ranked 19th in the region and 13,759th in the world for Nudest.
