The Matriarchy of Hysterical Females is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Susan Estrich with an iron fist, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.445 billion Hysterical Femalesians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Loony Bin. The average income tax rate is 58.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Hysterical Femalesian economy, worth 605 trillion Pessaries a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Information Technology. Average income is 71,703 Pessaries, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Couples kissing on the street are detained for 'unlawful exchange of genetic material', former public radio talk pundits are being deployed to front line war zones, Animal Liberationists are regularly arrested, and government officials raid public buildings to remove all mention of G*d or r******n. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hysterical Females's national animal is the Emotional Support Animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Screaming and fainting at rock stars.

Hysterical Females is ranked 95,233^rd in the world and 5^th in The Cuckoos Egg for Most Developed, scoring 62.63 on the Human Development Index.
