The Tasty States of Paprika Islands is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Ginger with an even hand, and notable for its lack of airports, prohibition of alcohol, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 21.549 billion Paprikashians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social and economic equality; they tend to view other countries as corrupted by the hollow pageantry of sham elections.

The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Welfare, Healthcare, and Environment also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spice Rack. The average income tax rate is 67.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Paprika Islandsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,504 trillion spices 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 69,818 spices, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

State officials tend to disappear after they forget to salute Ginger's portrait, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back, and Ginger is considering changing the Paprika Islandsian flag to one with more glitter. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paprika Islands's national animal is the fox, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is cooking.

Paprika Islands is ranked 57,428^th in the world and 4^th in The Sweet Ubiquity for Lowest Crime Rates, with 74.9 law-abiding acts per hour.
