The Dictatorship of The Gay Zone is a very large, orderly nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 181 million Gay Zoneans 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 relatively small, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Gay Zonean economy, worth 8.99 trillion Kisses a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,653 Kisses, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Gay Zone's soft-touch approach to diplomacy has made it known as the 'push-over' of the region, 90% of active duty TGZAF personnel have been laid off and replaced by robot kill-drones, twins move across the country to avoid being accused of the other's crimes, and press conferences always end with standing ovations and rapturous applause. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Gay Zone's national animal is the Illegal Drug Activist, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Gay Zone is ranked 12,711^th in the world and 6^th in Austin Texa storage for Most Primitive, scoring 89.72 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
