The Great Empire of Pigeonstan is a huge, safe nation, ruled by CHER AMI with a fair hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, daily referendums, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 865 million Pigeons are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeontropolis. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth 120 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 138,794 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

State media features lively debates such as whether pineapple on pizza is an acceptable topping, politicians always seem to take two steps forward then three steps back, children gain their first sex education from reading the dictionary, and there is a heavy social stigma attached to e-cigarettes. 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.

Pigeonstan is ranked 9,913^th in the world and 573^rd in The North Pacific for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 26,879.3 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
