The Federation of Parat Atorgia is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 283 million Parat Atorgians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The relatively small, moralistic, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.6%.

The powerhouse Parat Atorgian economy, worth 23.6 trillion lire a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Average income is 83,414 lire, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 270,895 per year while the poor average 19,366, a ratio of 14.0 to 1.

Nations that kill a Parat Atorgian can expect a strongly worded letter, people say that smog must be good for you because of its healthy green colour, autopsies often involve only cursory examination, and the book "Zen and the Art of Dog Maintenance" is inexplicably a worldwide success. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. Parat Atorgia's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Parat Atorgia is ranked 80,834^th in the world and 3^rd in Austin Texa storage for Most Advanced Defense Forces, scoring 3,269.74 on the Total War Preparedness Rating.
