The Subayaran Kingdom of Paraw is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by King Hari I with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.59 billion Parawies are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Prasano. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Parawi economy, worth 724 trillion Mazals a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an impressive 157,849 Mazals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 521,916 per year while the poor average 35,688, a ratio of 14.6 to 1.

Mysterious men apprehend suspected Good Samaritans under the cover of night, train stations can be 'armful places, children high on sugar can often be seen bouncing off walls, and security reviews double as corporate marketing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paraw's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Subayarism.

Paraw is ranked 26,274^th in the world and 591^st in the South Pacific for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 6,850.54 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
