The State of Parbo is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and notable for its complete lack of public education, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 22.304 billion Parbans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, is effectively ruled by the Department of Industry, with Law & Order also on the agenda, while Social Policy and Welfare aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.7%.

The powerhouse Parboan economy, worth 984 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 44,153 betales, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 172,740 per year while the poor average 7,688, a ratio of 22.5 to 1.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, the automotive industry soaks up huge government handouts, Parbo has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Parbo in an international press conference. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Parbo's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Parbo is ranked 6,616th in the world and 1st in Bishkek for Most Stationary, with 2,870.95508619868 days.
