The Great Dominion of Parakka Northland is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Lord Maximus with an even hand, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 17.675 billion Belcrests are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ironpoint. The average income tax rate is 77.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Parakka Northlandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,270 trillion Cubits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 71,853 Cubits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, gambling is outlawed, organ donation is compulsory, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parakka Northland's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Religion of Rotia.

Parakka Northland is ranked 64,893^rd in the world and 4^th in The Mystical Alliance for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 3,013.06 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
