The Shinobu of Swordswoman is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 10.895 billion Swordswomanians 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 enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 53.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Swordswomanian economy, worth 242 trillion ergergrgs 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 slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, 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 22,233 ergergrgs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One does not simply walk into the tundra, wigged-out hunters report playing croquet with the Queen of Hearts, the national census includes an opt-in to join the government-run dating service, and a major religion has been named as Swordswoman's national religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Swordswoman's national animal is the ergerg, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Swordswoman is ranked 145,311^th in the world and 38^th in 555 for Most Patriotic, with 9.74 flags saluted per person per day.
