The Colony of Scruffy Pigeon is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, aversion to nipples, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.425 billion Scruffy Pigeons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 54.3%.

The all-consuming Scruffy economy, worth a remarkable 1,452 trillion crusts 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 black market in Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Gambling. 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 108,185 crusts, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Exceptionally talented workers are praised more than Revolutionary heroes, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, excited Romeos drive all the way to the next village for a date, and vacationing Scruffy Pigeons expect to be treated as royalty. Crime is a serious problem. Scruffy Pigeon's national animal is the pigeon, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Scruffy Pigeon is ranked 67,550^th in the world and 2^nd in Anontia for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,171.01 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
