The Doppelgänger Twins of Gemini Barmaid is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Two Bits with an even hand, and remarkable for its enslaved workforce, complete lack of prisons, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 6.585 billion Gemini Barmaids are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Make it a Double. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 59.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Gemini Barmaid economy, worth 921 trillion BARMAID coins 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 large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 139,902 BARMAID coins, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 613,068 per year while the poor average 20,107, a ratio of 30.5 to 1.

Recent protests against birds flying too low have resulted in bloodshed, handling people's data is proving an immersive experience, even in the most hardened climate scientists break down at the sound of a single drop of rain, and voters are one of the nation's top imports. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gemini Barmaid's national animal is the Doppelgänger, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is A diad duality.

Gemini Barmaid is ranked 303,799th in the world and 22nd in BARMAIDS ltd for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.24 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
