The Hotdog-craving birb of Seagull is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Steven Seagulls with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, rum-swilling pirates, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 13.306 billion Seagulls are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Spirituality, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ackopolis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Seagulls economy, worth a remarkable 3,717 trillion stolen hotdogs a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Soda Sales, and Uranium Mining. Average income is an amazing 279,390 stolen hotdogs, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,319,014 per year while the poor average 6,764, a ratio of 342 to 1.

Jumping in puddles after rainstorms has become an indoor activity, it's illegal to blow things up, a friend in need is a friend with nuclear greed, and songs of praise to Steven Seagulls are filled with coded messages from the resistance. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Seagull's national animal is the Seagull, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of Hotdog.

Seagull is ranked 270,633^rd in the world and 314^th in Forest for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
