The Republic of Parlaa is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning cow population. The hard-working population of 257 million Parlaans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 14.3%.

The Parlaan economy, worth 12.6 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,875 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.3 times as much as the poorest.

It ain't easy to be green enough to be imported into Parlaa and government reports are now used to teach toddlers to read. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parlaa's national animal is the cow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Parlaa is ranked 163,055^th in the world and 1^st in Nelumbo for Most Authoritarian, with 648.92 milliStalins.
