The Grand Duchy of Lady Pinkston is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The devout population of 1.126 billion Ladies are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 67.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Lady Pinkstonian economy, worth 32.7 trillion pinky rings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 29,002 pinky rings, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, organ donation is compulsory, the country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Lady Pinkston's national animal is the fluffy bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Lady Pinkston is ranked 201,993^rd in the world and 31^st in Lady Magdalenas Secret for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 39.87 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
