The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, pith helmet sales, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 23.248 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 17,228 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 741,080 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

God took rock and roll from you, took rock and roll from everyone, new arrivals are asked the location of the Minister of the Interior's birthmark, the government terminates employment with extreme prejudice, and euthanasia is illegal. 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 5,228^th in the world and 4^th in Pontbridge Islands for Largest Populations, with 23.2 billion Capita.
