The Federation of Parrots Den is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Obi-Wan with a fair hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 5.213 billion Parrots Denians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kenobi. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Parrots Denian economy, worth a remarkable 1,276 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 244,936 dollars, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,235,144 per year while the poor average 27,079, a ratio of 45.6 to 1.

Collisions between bicycles and carnival floats are on the rise, nothing says "moving forward" like sitting in traffic for eight hours, every day is laundry day, and civil servants are often voluntold to work for free. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Parrots Den's national animal is the parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Parrots Den is ranked 6,373rd in the world and 5th in Conch Kingdom for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 123.96 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
