The Airborne Flock of Migrating Geese is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by MaMa Goose with an even hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, anti-smoking policies, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 36.494 billion Geese 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Environment, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birdland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 75.0%.

The large but sluggish Migrating Geesean economy, worth 731 trillion nest eggs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration. Average income is 20,043 nest eggs, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's air missiles have killed thousands of Brasilistan military personnel, nuclear bases are readying themselves for missile deployment, the nation is weighing the price of victory following a nuclear strike, and the nation has nearly as many history museums as Geese. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. Migrating Geese's national animal is the goose, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Migrating Geese is ranked 219,902^nd in the world and 5^th in Astrali for Largest Retail Industry, scoring -13.33 on the Shrinkwrap Consignment Productivity Index.
