The Republic of Paraselene is a huge, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 550 million Paraseleneans are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackal Grove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.0%.

The all-consuming Paraselenean economy, worth 56.0 trillion omegas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 101,872 omegas, with the richest citizens earning 6.1 times as much as the poorest.

The government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance, many aides in Leader's office are known to be serial jaywalkers, cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors, and the contraband cigarette trade is lighting up across Paraselene. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paraselene's national animal is the Jackal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Paraselene is ranked 160,357^th in the world and 66^th in Estalcia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 369.62 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
