The People's Republic of Parkintopia is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Sunni Fa'asavalu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.846 billion Parkintopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 95.0%.

The thriving Parkintopian economy, worth 293 trillion Sables a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 103,069 Sables, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All beauty contests have been banned, homophobia is off the menu, meat is a luxury afforded only to the wealthy, and the best way to get the government to U-turn is to squick out Sunni Fa'asavalu. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parkintopia's national animal is the Llama, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Agnosticism.

Parkintopia is ranked 19,365^th in the world and 360^th in the South Pacific for Highest Poor Incomes, with 92,927.51 Standard Monetary Units.
