The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, otherworldly petting zoo, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.536 billion 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 medium-sized, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Industry, and Education are also considered important, while International Aid and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeonopolis. The average income tax rate is 78.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth a remarkable 2,358 trillion rupees a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 174,238 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nouveau riche farmers diligently take care of their golden calf herds, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, the leading national news source is 'my cousin Billy-Bob on MyFace', and a teen dramedy has been taken off air because the main villain is a man. 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, and its national religion is PIJONIEALISIM.

Pigeonstan is ranked 331,213^th in the world and 4,738^th in The North Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -22.63 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
