The Imperial Republic of Aureum Paradisum is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Alexander III with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 12.224 billion Paradisans enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Paradisium. The average income tax rate is 96.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Paradisan economy, worth a remarkable 2,194 trillion Aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 179,515 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Clothing with a scarlet S is popular among repentant body shamers, the majority whip publicly spanks unruly public servants, a certain animated paperclip is enjoying his sunset years at the government's expense, and sick Paradisans are hair today and gone tomorrow. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aureum Paradisum's national animal is the Pheonix, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Deusism.

Aureum Paradisum is ranked 3,400^th in the world and 15^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Most Developed, scoring 96.85 on the Human Development Index.
