The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its anti-smoking policies, ubiquitous missile silos, and pith helmet sales. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.723 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 26,276 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 884,062 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Produce labels read 'may contain traces of food', the government is seen to favor traditionalist religions, the nation's new foreign policy of 'very disproportionate retribution' has its neighbors on edge, and punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements. 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 291,395^th in the world and 4^th in Pontbridge Islands for Safest, scoring 2.34 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
