The Commonwealth of Parynome is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 706 million Parynomeans are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Spirituality. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piresa. The average income tax rate is 59.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Parynomean economy, worth 25.0 trillion guilders a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,480 guilders, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's infamous rickshaw ambulances often double as hearses, escalators are avoided at all costs, the endangered saltwater humpback emu is only seen in captivity programs, and serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parynome's national animal is the emu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parynome is ranked 35,462^nd in the world and 143^rd in Refugia for Most Income Equality, scoring 67.96 on the Marx-Engels Emancipation Scale.
