The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, enslaved workforce, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.736 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 26,263 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 883,232 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are frequently searched for illegal weapons, cheering flag-waving citizens don't like to think too hard about politics, overhead luggage compartments on trains sometimes conceal diminutive intelligence officers, and cute fluffy little Sister Number Ones are increasingly popular exotic pets. 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 290,338^th in the world and 4^th in Pontbridge Islands for Highest Food Quality, scoring 1.79 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
