The People's Republic of Parkintopia is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sunni Fa'asavalu with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.49 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 Education, Administration, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 93.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Parkintopian economy, worth 229 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 led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Basket Weaving. Average income is 92,252 Sables, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Atheism is seen as a prerequisite for political power, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, the PBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, and old dogs don't have to learn new tricks but they have to prove they haven't forgotten old ones. 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 297,841^st in the world and 4,002^nd in the South Pacific for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 20.05 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
