The Microcosm of Council of Feathers is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Finch Above All with a fair hand, and remarkable for its soft-spoken computers, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 5.027 billion Councillors love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Zeebie Council. The average income tax rate is 90.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Council of Feathersian economy, worth 481 trillion bits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is 95,783 bits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The aims of top-secret Council of Feathersian science projects revolve around designing the perfect robot woman, roadside walls are being built and mother nature is paying for it, The Finch Above All's iHouse is so intelligent that it manages its own social media accounts, and truancy is as easy as clicking a camera icon. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Council of Feathers's national animal is the zebra finch, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Council of Feathers is ranked 10,437th in the world and 18th in Concord for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 90.89 Effective Tax Rate.
