The tiny government prioritizes Environment, although Healthcare, Defense, and Industry are also considered important, while Spirituality and International Aid aren't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 9.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Pigeonismian economy, worth 75.7 trillion Feathers a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Average income is 49,775 Feathers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Pigeonism's national animal is the Pigeon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Pigeonism is ranked 259,822^nd in the world and 508^th in the Plains of Perdition for Most Extreme, scoring 9.33 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
