The Prajasangha of Parvatapala is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Prime Minister Rohan Samarasinghe with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 7.315 billion Palas have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mudupavra. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Pala economy, worth 876 trillion Pala rupees a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 119,854 Pala rupees, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 640,433 per year while the poor average 11,766, a ratio of 54.4 to 1.

Airport users are more worried about radiation than terrorism, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', government officials across Parvatapala are being "encouraged" to adopt Pala tigers to set an example for the populace, and people who have had childhood imaginary friends are told they can't ever be trusted with guns. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parvatapala's national animal is the Pala tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Samrudyana Budadarma.

Parvatapala is ranked 216,364^th in the world and 5^th in Insula Aurelica for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
