The Cockatielian Empire of Birb Cave is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Storm with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions and stringent health and safety legislation. The democratic, devout population of 1.625 billion Cockatiels are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cockatiel City. The average income tax rate is 16.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Cockatielian economy, worth 81.4 trillion Storm Bucks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 50,072 Storm Bucks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Increasing numbers of children in Birb Cave have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the death penalty has been reintroduced, Parrotian has been named as Birb Cave's national religion, and the combined alert sound of a nation simultaneously receiving a text message is a common cause of hearing damage. Crime is totally unknown. Birb Cave's national animal is the Cockatiel, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Parrotian.
