The Not So Isolated Islands of Boring Paradise is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Lord Malik IV with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, sprawling nuclear power plants, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 35.928 billion Paradisians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradisia. The average income tax rate is 71.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paradisian economy, worth a remarkable 5,060 trillion Borish pounds a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 140,848 Borish pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Merchant ships always travel line astern in Paradisian waters, an opal a day keeps the negative thoughts at bay, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and pop stars who make it big overseas are hailed as economic heroes. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Boring Paradise's national animal is the Hawka Bear, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Hawkism.

Boring Paradise is ranked 58,855th in the world and 8th in Esportiva for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,227.45 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
