The Parasite infested feathers of Scabby Pigeon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.416 billion Scabby Pigeons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Scabby economy, worth a remarkable 1,186 trillion crusts a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 88,408 crusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', the nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, rubbing salt into wounds is seen as a good thing if it is 100% organic garlic-and-thyme salt, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime is a problem. Scabby Pigeon's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Scabby Pigeon is ranked 42,083rd in the world and 1st in United Bird Nations for Most Stationary, with 1,048.39782208052 days.
