The Nomadic Peoples of Flying Pig 39 is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its public floggings, parental licensing program, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 3.979 billion Flying Pig 39ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 57.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Flying Pig 39ian economy, worth 451 trillion Cashes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 113,337 Cashes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The sun now sets on the Flying Pig 39ian Empire, preservative manufacturers are told to put a lid on it, Dogman-branded weapons are all the rage in the militaristic comic-book community, and the Flying Pig 39 City Women's Prison Choir now has a baritone section. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying Pig 39's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Flying Pig 39 is ranked 157,675^th in the world and 1^st in Amerika for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 1,870.28 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
