The Republic of Cockatiels is a mammoth, efficient nation, notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, frequent executions, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 8.914 billion Cockatielsians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 46.3%.

The powerhouse Cockatielsian economy, worth 670 trillion bird feeds a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,190 bird feeds, with the richest citizens earning 9.5 times as much as the poorest.

Meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, and Cockatielsian watches list strained wrists as a common side effect. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Cockatiels's national animal is the cockatiel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Cockatiels is ranked 103,444^th in the world and 8^th in Paperwork for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 46.27 Effective Tax Rate.
