The United States of South Parter is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Yame Kock M with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 4.788 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, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parston. The average income tax rate is 76.5%.

The frighteningly efficient South Parterian economy, worth a remarkable 1,331 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 278,190 Paelous, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Jennifer Government is a bestseller, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, the nation's apology for those it has executed in the last year has come a little late for some, and people say that cubists are rubbish because they can't draw faces. 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 3,883^rd in the world and 200^th in The North Pacific for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 629.42 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
