The Federal Republic of Parvus Viridia is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Altay with a fair hand, and notable for its smutty television, lack of airports, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 1.633 billion Parvus Viridians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Collisia. The average income tax rate is 56.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parvus Viridian economy, worth 192 trillion Aureuses a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 117,798 Aureuses, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Dinner parties often end in politically charged fist fights, young and brooding teens are welcomed with open arms to the Dogwarts School of Strangeness and Sorcery, workers of "fairweather faith" claim six months of paid leave for holy days per year, and counselors have to sign pledges supporting gay rights before they can speak to any patients. Crime is totally unknown. Parvus Viridia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parvus Viridia is ranked 12,430^th in the world and 196^th in Europe for Most Efficient Economies, scoring 100.05 on the Krugman-Greenspan Business Outlook Index.
