The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an even hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.081 billion Pigeons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeontropolis. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth 294 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 141,310 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Glamping Pigeons won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the church declares that everyone should get a large serving of nuts daily, hotels often double as quarantine zones, and prisoners fit in their parole hearings around their spa treatments. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pigeonstan's national animal is the Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is PIJONIEALISIM.

Pigeonstan is ranked 175,045^th in the world and 6,298^th in The North Pacific for Most Armed, with 0.25 Weapons Per Person.
