The House of Parx is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 735 million Parxians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 27.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Parxian economy, worth 24.6 trillion Evroes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 33,477 Evroes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, military spending recently hit a new high, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and it is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control. Parx's national animal is the Jaeger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parx is ranked 153,581^st in the world and 4,525^th in the Rejected Realms for Most Extreme, scoring 13.86 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
