The Spaceship of Alien Pirates is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by 01001111 with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 7.27 billion Alien Piratesians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Piratoria. The average income tax rate is 72.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Alien Piratesian economy, worth 669 trillion Rums a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 92,102 Rums, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The health budget has been diverted into prolonging 01001111's life, breast milk is being redistributed from each according to their ability to each according to their need, the government recently relinquished its monopoly on the mail service, and official government guidance encourages binge behaviors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alien Pirates's national animal is the Human, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is 010011110.

Alien Pirates is ranked 278,916th in the world and 103rd in The Union of Democratic States for Nicest Citizens, with 3.13 average smiles per day.
