The Democratic Republic of Pardul is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, pith helmet sales, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.959 billion Pardulians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pardulvia. The average income tax rate is 62.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Pardulian economy, worth 145 trillion Ráks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Tourism, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 74,476 Ráks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Convicts released after being found "wrongfully imprisoned" are surprisingly chill about the whole thing, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, newborns are being raised as mindless killing machines, and every spring railroad foundations erode to reveal human remains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pardul's national animal is the Ram, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Pardul is ranked 45,906^th in the world and 556^th in 10000 Islands for Best Weather, with 118 Meters Of Sunlight.
