The Rainbow Colors of Birds of Paradise is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by MrGreenbird with an iron fist, and remarkable for its closed borders, zero percent divorce rate, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 35.62 billion Birds of Paradiseans 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."

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, well-organized government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of ParadiseCity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 90.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Birds of Paradisean economy, worth a remarkable 3,989 trillion Manas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Furniture Restoration industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 111,995 Manas, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 356,784 per year while the poor average 26,745, a ratio of 13.3 to 1.

Jennifer Government is banned, stray dogs and children root through the trash for snacks, factories are regularly demolished to make way for low-cost housing areas, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Birds of Paradise's national animal is the Manabird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Atheism.

Birds of Paradise is ranked 285,003^rd in the world and 229^th in Nederland for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -185.76 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
