The Democratic States of Parinth is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 29.753 billion Parinthians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Law & Order, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 41.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Parinthian economy, worth 923 trillion Bits a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Arms Manufacturing, and Tourism. Average income is 31,008 Bits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Organ donation is compulsory, the government is slowly introducing social welfare programs, tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, and the police force is on a recruitment drive. Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Parinth's national animal is the nightowl, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parinth is ranked 302,567^th in the world and 76^th in Yorkshire for Smartest Citizens, with 1.52 quips per hour.
