The Confederacy of Parco is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Bork with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, rampant corporate plagiarism, and anti-smoking policies. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 16.256 billion Parcoans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, liberal government prioritizes Education, with Industry, Administration, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Parcoan economy, worth a remarkable 2,056 trillion pie pieces a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 126,488 pie pieces, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Mystics are claiming that a simultaneous rise in scepticism and education budgets is correlation rather than causation, a sledgehammer and a spray can are seen as the default tools of political debate, many friends and relatives of Bork have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations, and grade school teachers mark homework with red "CITATION NEEDED" stamps. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Parco's national animal is the monkey, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Centrifuge.

Parco is ranked 235,288^th in the world and 22^nd in Autropolis for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -9.39 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
