The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and renowned for its closed borders, triple-decker prams, and national health service. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.622 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 27,540 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 899,366 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Left-wing militias train children how to properly burn down banks, Sister Number One claims tax rises are the result of 'curses', slow dancing is made trickier when Auntie Edna insists on standing between the couple's arms, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. 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 304,809^th in the world and 8^th in Pontbridge Islands for Highest Disposable Incomes, with zero Standard Monetary Units.
