The Free Land of Parobland is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its state-planned economy and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 762 million Parobs are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parobtopia. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Parob economy, worth 23.1 trillion deniers a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 30,299 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The police have been known to wiretap confessional boxes, museums offer moralization or your money back, RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and foreign policy is to avoid standing up to bullies. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parobland's national animal is the lion, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Parobland is ranked 182,402nd in the world and 16th in Canada Land of the throne for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 1,257.76 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
