The Federation of Project Birdbrain is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 255 million Project Birdbrainians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 52.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Project Birdbrainian economy, worth 7.57 trillion tetoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Trout Farming. Average income is 29,688 tetoes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Project Birdbrain's national animal is the teto, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Project Birdbrain is ranked 76,664^th in the world and 1^st in Project Birdbrain for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 45.83 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
