The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, enslaved workforce, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.948 billion Gynos 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — is primarily concerned with Defense, although Environment, Law & Order, and Education are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Femininegrad. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Gyno economy, worth an astonishing 28,008 trillion Credits a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, highly specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is a breathtaking 905,028 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers are taught to throw their guns at their enemies once the bullets have run out, it is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable, the government has declared victoria over the cheese menace, and citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Gynostan at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gynostan's national animal is the Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Goddess Worship.

Gynostan is ranked 315,183^rd in the world and 8^th in Pontbridge Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
