The Very evil and criminal flock of New Birblands is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Birbrul with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 18.018 billion birbs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The enormous, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Industry, and Environment are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birblin. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 74.0%.

The frighteningly efficient birblandic economy, worth a remarkable 2,181 trillion birbseeds 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. 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 121,052 birbseeds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 344,125 per year while the poor average 33,993, a ratio of 10.1 to 1.

Diplomats shake hands with their right and hide a poison dagger in their left, cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, the sound of office water cooler chatter has been replaced by the whirring of computer cooling fans, and you can call your arthritic immigrant neighbour for all your roof-tiling and guttering needs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Birblands's national animal is the birb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chirpism.

New Birblands is ranked 6,815^th in the world and 158^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 7,063.17 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
