The Conservative United States of Holy Paradise is a massive, economically powerful nation, notable for its complete absence of social welfare. Its compassionate, cynical population of 1.468 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it is mainly concerned with Law & Order, although Defence and Commerce are on the agenda. The average income tax rate is 100%. A powerhouse of a private sector is dominated by the Automobile Manufacturing industry.

It is illegal for police officers to carry out searches due to strict privacy laws, the police have reaffirmed their tough stance on drugs, Rupert Bear is considered to be the most risqué TV program in Holy Paradise, and public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people". Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Holy Paradise's national animal is the angel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its currency is the gold coin.

Holy Paradise is ranked 4th in the region and 120,762nd in the world for Largest Retail Sector.

The History of Holy Paradise:

The First Inhabitants

Millions of years before the first colonists came, the land was ruled by human-like angels. They worshipped many gods and one divided them. The god's name was Garshinana. Worshippers of Garshinana offered him 10 human sacrifices a day. Non-worshippers believed this was barbaric and war broke out between the two groups. Before the war, there were 350,000,000 of these angels. The war lasted for about 1,500 years. After the war, only 15,000 remained. After 1,000s of years,the angels became what they are now. The land was devoid of civilization for 10,000,000 years, until colonists stepped onto the site where Holy Paradise City now is.

The Rise of a Nation

10,000,000 years passed after the last of the human-like angels devolved before a dominant species would again rule the land. Between this time. Not very many things happened between this time. After 10,000,000 years of the country showing no civilization what so ever, colonists from countries around the world began searching for a new home. One group of colonists from the dissolved country of Johnmercia(which happened to be ruled by one of President John Holtz's ancestors) sailed into a bay looking for a place to call home. They kept sailing unknowing into the bay, still thinking they were in open waters. The colonists were led by the old leader of Johnmerica, Emperor John H. On a warm morning on July 27, 1265 A.D., the word,"Land!" resounded from the top of a mast. The colonists rushed to the rowboats and sailed inward towards the shore. When they reached land, they began right away building a city. One of them was reported to say, "This land is truly a holy paradise." They all agreed that would be a good name for their land, and they became the first citizens of Holy Paradise right after they made the H.P. constitution.

The Country Gains an Ally:

Hundreds of years passed when President John H. came into power. He is still in power today. Not long after he was elected, Roach-Busters, who wasn't allied with HP yet, was taken over by a ruthless dictator. President John sent in troops and turned the tide favorably to RB's leader, President J.L. The war ended when the HP army obliterated the dictator's army and the dictator was arrested.HP and RB became great allies that day. Later, the former dictator escaped with the help of the greatest traitor in RBs history, who was also President J.L.'s best childhood friend. Skirmishes between the former dictator's terrorist group, the Red Dragons, and RB and its allies. After a while the Red Dragons divided into 5 groups, and soon a hitman from Doomingsland killed the former dictator. However the peace was to be short-lived.

The Civil War

Not long after the death of Insane, the former dictator of RB, a new threat rised in the southern Holy Paradise. A Communist multi-billionare, Darumbof Teridof, gained support from the people of the region, and after a terrorist attack on the Congressional House in Holy Paradise City executed by Teridof, the south annouced it was seceding from the north. The country was split into the Conservative United States of Holy Paradise and the Communist Empire of South Holy Paradise. A civil war erupted and in the end SHP surrendered not long after Teridof was killed by a Doomingsland missle about 11 months after the war started.(You can see where major battles of the Civil War happened on the map.) The country was reunited and is now facing no problems.

Recent Times

These days the country has faced about 4 major problems. The Capitalist World Summit was held in Holy Paradise City and helped form the CDA and the CEA. A second one shall be held soon.
