The Holy Realm of Parvacoetia is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Viceroy Charles XV with an iron fist, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, cheerful, devout population of 13.092 billion Parvacoetians 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Esch-sur-Alzette. The average income tax rate is 43.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parvacoetian economy, worth a remarkable 1,695 trillion Septims a year, is highly specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,469 Septims, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The rich tend their gardens inside gated urban farming communities, bilingual Parvacoetians are viewed with suspicion, behind every great person are three dozen other people passing great memos, and emigrants arrive on foreign shores with nothing but pocket sand. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parvacoetia's national animal is the gryphon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Parvacoetia is ranked 33,548^th in the world and 2,291^st in Lazarus for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 6,602.99 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
