The Republic of The Psittacines is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Mathieu Perroquet with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and daily referendums. The compassionate, cheerful population of 6.83 billion Psittacinesians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of City of Aves. The average income tax rate is 76.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Psittacinesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 trillion Pellets a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 155,040 Pellets, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities, halberds are common 18th birthday presents, a passport is literally priceless, and every diamond ring sold is accompanied by a twenty-five page analysis and a waiver. 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 Druidry.

The Psittacines is ranked 7,213^th in the world and 31^st in Conch Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 107.99 law-abiding acts per hour.
