The Commonwealth of Birdseye is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.048 billion Wingers 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 19.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Wingean economy, worth 94.6 trillion Talons a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,204 Talons, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and Birdseye has designated Birdseye City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Birdseye's national animal is the Atlantic Puffin, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Birdseye is ranked 75,269^th in the world and 312^th in Concord for Nicest Citizens, with 15.09 average smiles per day.
