The Community of Parrot is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its digital currency, irreverence towards religion, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic population of 3.593 billion Parrotians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Parrotian economy, worth 192 trillion deniers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 53,481 deniers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cheap textbooks have replaced coasters at college ragers, the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, and nature magazines featuring stick insects on their covers are sometimes mistaken for fashion magazines. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parrot's national animal is the Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Parrot is ranked 87,203^rd in the world and 7^th in Safari for Lowest Crime Rates, with 67.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
