The Girl from Golden of Dime Store Cowgirl is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 6.927 billion Dime Store Cowgirlians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 61.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dime Store Cowgirlian economy, worth 895 trillion dimes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 129,204 dimes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

You can bet your bottom dollar that gambling will cost you an arm and a leg, drivers regularly pull over for nonexistent police cars, gun-wielding gangsters sometimes deal death from as far as ten paces away, and the government seizes all major gold finds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dime Store Cowgirl's national animal is the velvet Elvis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dime Store Cowgirl is ranked 195,856th in the world and 294th in Stereo Hearts for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 213 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
