The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a massive, safe nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, pith helmet sales, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.093 billion Pigeons have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeontropolis. The average income tax rate is 66.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth 294 trillion rupees a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,934 rupees, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

CHER AMI's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, school uniforms are compulsory, there's an aura of pseudoscience around academia, and electricity company executives pray nightly to Zeus and Thor. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Pigeonstan's national animal is the Pigeon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is PIJONIEALISIM.

Pigeonstan is ranked 132,421^st in the world and 4,789^th in The North Pacific for Most Politically Apathetic Citizens, with 50 Whatever.
