The Parasite infested feathers of Scabby Pigeon is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its teetotalling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.521 billion Scabby Pigeons 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Scabby economy, worth a remarkable 1,195 trillion crusts a year, is highly specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Tourism, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Book Publishing. Average income is 88,408 crusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

It is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', the nation's endangered species are no longer endangered, rubbing salt into wounds is seen as a good thing if it is 100% organic garlic-and-thyme salt, and the government is rumored to hire body doubles whose full-time jobs are to cry at public events. Crime is a problem. Scabby Pigeon's national animal is the pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Scabby Pigeon is ranked 253,183^rd in the world and 2^nd in United Bird Nations for Lowest Crime Rates, with 50.34 law-abiding acts per hour.
