The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an even hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, aversion to nipples, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 2.754 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 66.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth 414 trillion rupees a year, is fairly 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 150,420 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Military units are often seen arguing over which one is truly favored by the gods, the government is overcome with ennui, homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them, and stranded astronauts hitch rides on foreign spacecraft to get home. 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 17,124^th in the world and 592^nd in The North Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,152.92 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
