The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, parental licensing program, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.829 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, with Environment, Law & Order, and Education also on the agenda. 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 25,004 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 867,353 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Soldiers go to war dressed in cassocks and robes, large areas of Gynostan are not accessible by the public, parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, and asking 'a penny for your thoughts?' draws law enforcement response. 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 283,765^th in the world and 7^th in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -68.54 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
