The Cultivated Peoples of Birdiun is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Sir Deepitybleepitydoo with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 3.392 billion Birdianians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Frogschlob City. The average income tax rate is 87.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Birdiunian economy, worth 429 trillion Boogles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 126,763 Boogles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

B-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age, they who do not work shall not eat, time flies when you're not having fun, and the national security service are a bunch of crooks. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Birdiun's national animal is the Blrdianian Big Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Birdiun is ranked 12,029^th in the world and 342^nd in The Communist Bloc for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 10,261.09 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
