The Principality of Parsanali is a large, devout nation, notable for its compulsory military service. Its cynical population of 23 million are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up..

The large, corrupt government concentrates mainly on Law & Order, although Defence and Religion & Spirituality are secondary priorities. The average income tax rate is 37%, but much higher for the wealthy. A substantial private sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Agriculture.

Elections have been outlawed, all news sources are under strict government control, military spending recently hit a new high, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and political activists are routinely executed. Crime is moderate. Parsanali's national animal is the leopard, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Nuq.

Government
The nation is headed by the Khedive, the monarch, administators and local govorners are appointed by him or his staff. Governors have a great deal of control over their provinces, and have a well armed police force to secure maintain control. However, all government officials are kept under tight control bu the secret police, "the Khedive's eyes." Government control over the country is very tight. The Khedive has many officials under him to help run the nation smoothly.

Citizen's Rights
The well being, property, and - to some extent - liberty of the population is well protected by the Khedive's laws, but most aspects of the economy are nationalized. Despite the heavy hand of the Parsanali government, the people can expect live without fear so long as they follow the laws of the land. The rights of every citizen, from the highest government officials to the lowliest peasant, are well protected by the courts.

Culture
Parsanali is a mostly rural nation, with a few cities along the Nali river the main focus of the population. Peasant farmers make up the bulk of the population, and they live simply without much connection with the wider world. The cities are drastically different from the rest of the nation, with far greater diversity and a more modern culture. Religion is important to the people of Parsanali, with the majority of the population Zarathustrian. A sizable minority follow Sufism, and although not officially discriminated against, they generally find themselves marginalized by the rest of the nation.

Ethnic Makeup
The vast majority of the population is Nalian or Sohoni, with Parsani and Kwajec making up most the rest. Nalians make up almost all the peasant farmers, and they are the anccient inhabitants of the Nali river valley. The Sohoni live farther out from the Nali, and live mostly off their herds of cattle ans some subsistance farming. The army mostly recruits Sohoni into it's ranks due to their history as fierce warrior tribesmen. The Parsani conquered the region hundreds of years ago, and although they did not initiate large-scale colonization of teir vassal state, all government positions were filled by Parsais. Today the Parsanali make up the urban eliet. The Kwajecs are mostly nomadic pastoralists at the upper Nali river. Before the conquest by Parsais, they made up the warrior-aristocracy. The current Royal Guard is composed mostly of Kwajecs.

Nalian: 48%
Sohoni 31%
Parsani: 4%
Kwajec: 11%
Others: 6%

Economy
The Parsanali economy has struggled to keep up with the industrial world with it's largely agricultural economy, but maintains a favorable balance of trade through the export of cash crops, textiles, and raw materials. The fertile Nali river valley allows for amazing production of agricultural goods, and fishing is also a major industry. The cattle herds of the Sohoni could be a major source of income, but have yet to ne exploited. Most everything that produces any money in Parsanali is nationalized, and the government has total control over the economy.
