The Imperial Republic of Aureum Paradisum is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Emperor Peter IX with an even hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and smutty television. The compassionate, devout population of 9.707 billion Paradisians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Denegelia. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Paradisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,641 trillion Aurums a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 169,059 Aurums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Newspapers are celebrating Emperor Peter IX saving over a million cats from trees, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, the dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, and nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Aureum Paradisum's national animal is the Aureum Pheonix, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Deusism.

Aureum Paradisum is ranked 4,626^th in the world and 12^th in Democratic Socialist Assembly for Lowest Crime Rates, with 118.43 law-abiding acts per hour.
