The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its lack of airports, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.78 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, although Environment and Law & Order 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 16,618 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 729,509 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Winceyette robes are a popular wedding gift, citizens are told that foreigners are hungry ghosts who eat the flesh of the overly curious, Renaissance frescos are being chiselled off public walls, and you don't need a smoking gun to arrest someone for promoting guns. 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 86,786^th in the world and 4^th in Pontbridge Islands for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 0.37 Bank.
