The Armed Republic of Paramount Swashbuckler is a massive, orderly nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 1.853 billion Paramount Swashbucklerians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Education, Law & Order, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Welfare aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 28.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Paramount Swashbucklerian economy, worth 60.1 trillion marks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 32,450 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paramount Swashbuckler's national animal is the eagle.

Paramount Swashbuckler is ranked 158,055^th in the world and 1,864^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 60.33 law-abiding acts per hour.
