The Colony of Sleazy Pigeon is a titanic, efficient nation, remarkable for its strictly enforced bedtime, ban on automobiles, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 18.636 billion Sleazy Pigeons are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Sleazy economy, worth a remarkable 1,136 trillion crusts a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Pizza Delivery. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 60,972 crusts, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, a PhD just ain't what it used to be, charged suspects often have to wait years before the courts have room to judge their trial, and every week is blindness awareness week. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. Sleazy Pigeon's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Sleazy Pigeon is ranked 310,330th in the world and 1st in Pigeon Axis Force for Least Corrupt Governments, with 57.3 percentage of bribes refused.
