The Republic of Paares is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working population of 146 million Paaresians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 29.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Paaresian economy, worth 9.06 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 62,036 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.
Shopkeepers use microscopes to verify the authenticity of banknotes, the nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, dentists routinely perform open heart surgery, and the citizenship exam requires years of study to actually pass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paares's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Paares is ranked 78,451st in the world and 1,217th in the West Pacific for Most Income Equality, scoring 48.01 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
