The GALACTIC EMPIRE of Pigeonstan is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by CHER AMI with an iron fist, and renowned for its rampant corporate plagiarism, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 8.657 billion 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 government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pigeonopolis. The average income tax rate is 76.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pigeononyim economy, worth a remarkable 1,535 trillion rupees a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 177,385 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government tells its citizens to 'forgive and forget', the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases, serial commas clarify the relationship between one's lackeys, the taxpayers, and kinsfolk, and the government is washing its hands of alleged corruption. 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 26,897^th in the world and 562^nd in The North Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 79.73 kickbacks per hour.
