The Republic of Miss Byrd is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning squirrel population. The hard-working population of 3.192 billion Miss Byrdians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.2%.

The Miss Byrdian economy, worth 144 trillion guilders a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 45,405 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Miss Byrd's national animal is the squirrel.

Miss Byrd is ranked 284,203^rd in the world and 1^st in Paradox Space for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 1,979.48 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
