The Matriarchy of Gryphon Barmaid is a very large, safe nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 176 million Gryphon Barmaidians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Education, and Welfare also on the agenda, while International Aid isn't funded at all. The average income tax rate is 57.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but sluggish Gryphon Barmaidian economy, worth 3.54 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 20,116 pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, invasive drug testing is now performed at elementary school sports days, edutainment video games are taking Gryphon Barmaid's students to the next level, and the police double as repo men. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gryphon Barmaid's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Gryphon Barmaid is ranked 65,748^th in the world and 90^th in The Free Nations Region for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.15 law-abiding acts per hour.
