The Parhic League Electorate of The Beatus is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by 順勳 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its smutty television, unlimited-speed roads, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 27.137 billion Parhonian are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Spirituality, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rakrang. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Parhic economy, worth a remarkable 8,842 trillion Parhic Osus a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 325,840 Parhic Osus, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 3,038,584 per year while the poor average 3,101, a ratio of 979 to 1.

Maxtopian tourists make expensive pilgrimages to Rakrang to enjoy their national art, slavers view "what did your last slave die of" as a request for a demonstration, the flight attendant who draws the short straw is on "cockpit bucket duty", and children are sent to either religious or secular schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Beatus's national animal is the Parhic Rhinoceros, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Shinkyo.

The Beatus is ranked 288th in the world and 14th in Lazarus for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 24,481.68 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
