The United States of South Parter is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Yame Kock M with a fair hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, pith helmet sales, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.717 billion South Parterians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parston. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.7%.

The frighteningly efficient South Parterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,318 trillion Paelous a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Tourism. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an amazing 279,507 Paelous, with the richest citizens earning 9.9 times as much as the poorest.

There's no such thing as bad publicity, constituents prefer a carrot and boomstick approach to dealing with politicians, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Paelou treacle machine, and the government is making attempts at curtailing the flood of spam emails with little progress. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. South Parter's national animal is the emu, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

South Parter is ranked 94,583^rd in the world and 2,104^th in The North Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 2,559.88 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
