The Inactive Flock of New Birblands is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Birbrul with an iron fist, and renowned for its smutty television, rampant corporate plagiarism, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 12.891 billion birbs are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, although Healthcare, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Birblin. The average income tax rate is 67.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient birblandic economy, worth a remarkable 1,273 trillion birbseeds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 98,761 birbseeds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Hotels often double as quarantine zones, children deemed 'disorderly' or otherwise unfit for public schools are shipped off to military academies, school uniforms are compulsory, and travel bureaus double as recruiting centers for national intelligence agencies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Birblands's national animal is the birb, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Chirpism.

New Birblands is ranked 113,059th in the world and 1,908th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 1,339.03 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
