The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an even hand, and remarkable for its closed borders, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.278 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, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeontropolis. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth 327 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 143,790 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

People's charity begins and ends at home, walking to the local pizza parlour earns a lovely sports participation ribbon, citizens are allowed to rise or fall based on their own merits, and cassocked priests and choirboys believe that what happens behind closed doors stays behind closed doors. 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 25,866^th in the world and 731^st in The North Pacific for Fattest Citizens, with 15.01 Obesity Rate.
