The Queendom of Shemalestan is a gargantuan, safe nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 11.937 billion Shemales are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stiletto. The average income tax rate is 90.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Shemalestanian economy, worth a remarkable 1,020 trillion twangs a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 85,470 twangs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Legitimate job descriptions now include "smiling and waving", children's daycare starts at the crack of dawn, older ladies are inundated with offers to help them cross the road, and the immigration office has an express line for people bringing cash in briefcases. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Shemalestan's national animal is the Pacific geoduck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Tranny Cult.

Shemalestan is ranked 13,547^th in the world and 847^th in Balder for Most Beautiful Environments, with 1,314.28 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
