The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, strictly enforced bedtime, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.678 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 and Law & Order 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 17,834 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, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. 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 753,196 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Naturists are jailed regularly for indecent exposure, the importance of winning Olympic gold medals is indoctrinated from an early age, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and entire provinces are populated solely by nuclear missile technicians and military police. 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 80,607^th in the world and 4^th in Pontbridge Islands for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 0.37 Bank.
