The Republic of Paraselene is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 514 million Paraseleneans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Jackal Grove. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 17.3%.

The all-consuming Paraselenean economy, worth 51.8 trillion omegas a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,710 omegas, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

A widely accepted trade policy is "tit-for-tat", Jackal Grove University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, fraternities are rejoicing at government-subsidized partying, and people can get away with murder these days. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Paraselene's national animal is the Jackal.

Paraselene is ranked 186,695^th in the world and 74^th in Estalcia for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 228.48 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
