The Island of The Parandeam is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.051 billion Parandeans hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Hyacinthia. The average income tax rate is 70.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Parandean economy, worth 541 trillion Aces a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,792 Aces, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government recently donated a surfboard to an impoverished family in a landlocked region, gossip magazines are more interested in astrological stars than celebrity ones, there's nothing more gay than bleeding for your nation, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown. The Parandeam's national animal is the Moose, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Parandeam is ranked 161,491^st in the world and 1,575^th in 10000 Islands for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -5.83 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
