The Land of Ridges and Fields of The Byrdlands is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Byrd Probably with a fair hand, and renowned for its vat-grown people, public floggings, and frequent executions. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.768 billion Byrdlanders hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The enormous government prioritizes Healthcare, although Education, Environment, and Defense are also considered important, while Spirituality receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Relinski. The average income tax rate is 74.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Byrdish economy, worth 977 trillion pounds a year, is quite specialized and mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 76,524 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Laser-wielding robots are taking aim at human hearts, discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation is illegal, the television adaptation of Jennifer Government is the most popular program in the nation, and clergy never mention brand names for fear of losing their government subsidies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Byrdlands's national animal is the grand eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aamalyism.

The Byrdlands is ranked 251,596th in the world and 88th in Ridgefield for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 19,666.79 Standard Monetary Units.
