The People's Republic of Parisimo is a mid-sized, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 62 million Parisimoans are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 76.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Parisimoan economy, worth 2.78 trillion Paras a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 44,797 Paras, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation, the Finance Ministry posts hourly updates on where taxpayer money is spent, poaching has been on the rise after animals from the nation's zoos were released into the wild, and drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps". Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parisimo's national animal is the Oriente Warbler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Parisimo is ranked 300,942^nd in the world and 3,957^th in The East Pacific for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector, scoring -11.4 on the Charon Conveyancy Index.
