The Thalassocracy of Parthenopias is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Archon Jessero with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed population of 3.49 billion Parthenopians 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 medium-sized government prioritizes Education, although Defense, Law & Order, and Environment are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parthenion. The average income tax rate is 29.2%.

The very strong Parthenopian economy, worth 289 trillion Dodons a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 82,898 Dodons, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Smoking is banned in public areas, hipster cyclists declare that "metal is dead", RPG fans reminisce fondly about when people thought they were evil and dangerous rather than geeky and socially inept, and visitors to Violet Rock City are stunned to learn that they must memorize the "99 Principles" before entering. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parthenopias's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Parthenopias is ranked 35,069^th in the world and 5^th in Selene for Largest Timber Woodchipping Industry, scoring 3,798.9 on the Tasmanian Pulp Environmental Export Index.
