The Dominion of Pariaga is a tiny, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 16 million Pariagans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, moralistic government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Administration also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. The average income tax rate is 22.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Pariagan economy, worth 890 billion Narrainas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 55,657 Narrainas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

High-tech infantry rifles automatically reload when the soldier shoots outside the screen of their helmet HUD, politicians have seen a significant reduction in followers on their social media accounts, caps with skulls on them are the height of fashion, and exterminators swarm Pariagan homes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pariaga's national animal is the Polar Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Pariaga is ranked 187,855^th in the world and 16^th in Mazedornia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 166.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
