The Matriarchy of Gypsy Lands is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Gypsy Queen with an iron fist, and notable for its unlimited-speed roads, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 4.148 billion Gypsies are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The tiny, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tambourine. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.3%.

The Gypsy economy, worth 326 trillion silver coins a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is notable. Average income is 78,733 silver coins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 222,561 per year while the poor average 22,283, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

The Gypsy Queen is refusing to make decisions until the Moon is out of Capricorn, grocery stores can be audibly identified by the giggling emerging from them, military officers are given medals for disobeying orders, and waste is frequently shipped to other countries. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Gypsy Lands's national animal is the Werewolf, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Christianity.

Gypsy Lands is ranked 7,853^rd in the world and 3^rd in Gypsy Lands for Lowest Overall Tax Burden, scoring 124.92 on the Hayek Index.
