Domain of the Daughter of Parvati

The Domain of the Daughter of Parvati

The Domain of the Daughter of Parvati is a huge, devout nation, ruled by Lady IRIS with an iron fist, and renowned for its strong anti-business politics. Its hard-nosed, cynical population of 940 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defence, and Healthcare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ISHTAR CITY. The average income tax rate is 96%. Private enterprise is illegal, but for those in the know there is a slick and highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing.

New safety regulations require all cars manufactured in Parvati to be bombproof, skateboarding is punishable by heavy fines, society and government have been organized according to a feudal hierarchy, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Parvati's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the Gaudium.
