The Republic of The Psittacines is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Chimken with an even hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 12.147 billion Psittacinesians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Aves. The average income tax rate is 90.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psittacinesian economy, worth a remarkable 2,130 trillion Pellets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 175,354 Pellets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tenet of free speech is held dear, government agents stalk the aisles of grocery stores for out-of-stock medications, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Psittacines's national animal is the Sun Parakeet, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Featherism.

The Psittacines is ranked 1,923^rd in the world and 6^th in Conch Kingdom for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 114.44 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
