The United Empire of United Paradisia is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by the senate with a fair hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 10.528 billion Paradisians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The tiny, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elysium. The average income tax rate is 4.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Paradisian economy, worth a remarkable 2,274 trillion pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 216,006 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cash-strapped Paradisians scour their bodies for fortuitous zits, visiting the best Paradisian restaurants requires keeping a visa on file, arguments about toilet seats being left up or down get surprisingly heated, and the nation solves other countries' human rights problems with a generous dose of violence. Crime is totally unknown. United Paradisia's national animal is the Wolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

United Paradisia is ranked 9,268^th in the world and 2^nd in Elysion for Highest Average Incomes, with 216,006.2 Standard Monetary Units.
