The Land of Ridges and Fields of The Byrdlands is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Byrd Probably with a fair hand, and notable for its public floggings, vat-grown people, and punitive income tax rates.

State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 78,012 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Byrdlands's national animal is the grand eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aamalyism.
