The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, national health service, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 20.388 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 — prioritizes 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 13,490 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 661,708 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Recent events in Dàguó have been classified 'for Sister Number One's eyes only', mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, there is no such thing as an innocent fling in the Gyno military, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded 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 176,700^th in the world and 6^th in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Mining Sector, scoring -93.97 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
