The Republic of Broken Birds is a very large, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 256 million Broken Birdsians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The tiny, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Welfare, and Public Transport are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The strong Broken Birdsian economy, worth 10.6 trillion raffle tickets a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 41,450 raffle tickets, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 267,150 per year while the poor average 2,598, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Broken Birds's national animal is the dragonfly, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Broken Birds is ranked 4,947^th in the world and 2^nd in After Hours for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 6,605.61 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
