The Eternal Reformed Republic of Flying birdie is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Igor Shafarevich but bald and skinny with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.792 billion Russians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Moscow. The average income tax rate is 94.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Flying birdiean economy, worth a remarkable 2,434 trillion Flying birdean credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 312,477 Flying birdean credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Enemy agents are generally eliminated with extreme prejudice, enemy combatants are presumed guilty until proven innocent, metal detectors at school gates make sure that teenagers are carrying at least one sidearm, and international organisations everywhere are united in their condemnation of the nation's zombified military (Flying birdie has found 3 easter eggs). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Flying birdie's national animal is the Dà Niú, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Russian Orthodox Church.

Flying birdie is ranked 242,888th in the world and 7,759th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 21.041479589 days.
