The Republic of Paronia is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Claire Douglas with a fair hand, and renowned for its national health service, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.571 billion Paronians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manpanche. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Paronian economy, worth 411 trillion Paronian coupons a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 89,993 Paronian coupons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Motorcycle riders are required to wear so much gear they've been nicknamed "Stay Pufts", immigrants who carry knives on them are presumed to be chefs, most households' childcare costs are higher than their mortgage payments, and Bigtopian interference in domestic elections is always democratically sanctioned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paronia's national animal is the Icecube, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paronia is ranked 81,021^st in the world and 9^th in Banaanvraag for Most Advanced Law Enforcement, scoring 3,488.72 on the Orwell Orderliness Index.
