The Nest of Birb is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Birb with an even hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, unlimited-speed roads, and national health service. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 3.767 billion birbs are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bird Nest. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient birb economy, worth 828 trillion bird seeds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 219,706 bird seeds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

B-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, children with trilobite collections are drafted into the 'Billy and the Cloneasaurus' division, legislation sometimes has to battle through weeks of filibustering to pass, and a major piece of minority legislation allows a majority of minority interests to majorly undermine majority politics. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Birb's national animal is the birb, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Holy Birdseed.

Birb is ranked 219,907^th in the world and 201^st in Refugia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 67.54 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
