The Republic of Parcia is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Carlo with an even hand, and notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and keen interest in outer space. The humorless population of 17.367 billion Parcians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.
The enormous, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rome. The average income tax rate is 90.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The thriving Parcian economy, worth a remarkable 1,680 trillion Parcian Credits a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 96,736 Parcian Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
It is quite common for bar patrons to discuss Wittgenstein over cordials and games of backgammon, biotech companies are fined if their jumbled genetic sequences look too familiar, corrupt paupers spend taxpayer Parcian Credits on liquor and tobacco, and teenage girls worry that they'll be unpopular if their skirts aren't short enough. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parcia's national animal is the Carpathian Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
Parcia is ranked 17,884th in the world and 2nd in Aeterna Publicae for Lowest Crime Rates, with 91.1 law-abiding acts per hour.
