The Colony of Parark is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Samuel H Janesor with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 3.9 billion Pararkians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Burdran. The average income tax rate is 74.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pararkian economy, worth 392 trillion Resloes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is an impressive 100,744 Resloes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

EpiPen sales have skyrocketed, in life full of care there is no time to stop and stare, skateparks can be found in every city, and clairvoyants and soothsayers find fellowship at their local McRonalds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parark's national animal is the Moray Eel, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parark is ranked 94,621^st in the world and 2^nd in The River Fel Sphere of Influence for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,463.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
