The Theocracy of Paranity is a very large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its frequent executions, ritual sacrifices, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 402 million Paranitians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Holy Paran. The average income tax rate is 70.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Paranitian economy, worth 14.9 trillion nities a year, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,997 nities, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, citizens often ask "what has information technology ever done for us?", tourists call Paranitian beach towns "the fine coastline", and a popular saying is "don't do the crime if you can't smash the lime(stone)". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paranity's national animal is the elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paranity is ranked 276,101^st in the world and 16^th in Chat Club for Largest Populations, with 402 million capita.
