The Kingdom of Paradoxus is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema and suspicion of poets. The democratic, devout population of 253 million Paradoxusians 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 Welfare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 22.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Paradoxusian economy, worth 12.3 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,475 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, the children of Paradoxus are often remarked upon for their cheery attitude to extreme violence, streaming companies get dammed up whenever a powerful person throws a tantrum, and cinemas play art-house movies to ever-shrinking audiences as film critics rule the industry. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paradoxus's national animal is the Cerberus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paradoxus is ranked 87,156^th in the world and 72^nd in Benigtopia for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.34 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
