The Bright Plumage of Gryphon Barmaid is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Lion's Courage with an even hand, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, frequent executions, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 1.066 billion Gryphon Barmaids are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nest on a High Cliff. The average income tax rate is 37.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The sizeable but inefficient Gryphon Barmaid economy, worth 44.5 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. 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 41,725 BARMAID coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Careless Maxémon Trainers have been the cause of numerous search and rescue operations, patriots insist that size does matter, looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities, and the "feminist protest" defence is increasingly common for cases of armed robbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gryphon Barmaid's national animal is the Celestial Songbird, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Church of Shiny Feathers.
Gryphon Barmaid is ranked 142,208th in the world and 66th in The Free Nations Region for Safest, scoring 62.65 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
