The Principality of St Parra is a huge, genial nation, remarkable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, keen interest in outer space, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, devout population of 702 million St Parrians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of St Parra city. The average income tax rate is 56.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong St Parran economy, worth 60.5 trillion parions a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 86,200 parions, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

When shaking hands with foreign leaders Leader wears an armoured gauntlet, nudity is frowned upon, government crews work tirelessly to retake the suburbs from organized packs of raccoons, and politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. St Parra's national animal is the golden-crowned dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

St Parra is ranked 80,589^th in the world and 387^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,129.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
