The Free Land of Kushinas Parrots is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Ismo Kullervo Saarinen with a fair hand, and notable for its ban on automobiles, smutty television, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.104 billion Parrotianis enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mentri Maestosu. The average income tax rate is 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Kushinas Parrotsian economy, worth 322 trillion doploons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, Book Publishing, and Tourism. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 153,163 doploons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The new coalition government has 99 problems and can't agree on how to fix one, elections have become procedural nightmares due to voters persistently rejecting candidates, unprotected royals have replaced their corgis with rottweilers, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime is almost non-existent. Kushinas Parrots's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Kushinas Parrots is ranked 54,386^th in the world and 56^th in Nordic Lands for Most Patriotic, with 29.84 flags saluted per person per day.
