The Cays of Paracelia is a colossal, cultured nation, remarkable for its daily referendums, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 5.111 billion Paracelians 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 relatively small, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Healthcare, and Administration also on the agenda, while Spirituality and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marbella. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paracelian economy, worth 755 trillion Azoroes a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 147,903 Azoroes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Violently opinionated speakers can be heard preaching their hateful views on every street corner, anniversaries of major historical events pass unnoticed, Leader steals from the rich and gives to the needy, and you're only as old as you feel. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paracelia's national animal is the Baobab, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Trinitism.

Paracelia is ranked 32,028^th in the world and 1,140^th in The North Pacific for Lowest Crime Rates, with 81.53 law-abiding acts per hour.
