The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its fear of technology, lack of airports, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 26.992 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 22,368 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 828,709 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's soldiers sleep four to a bed in order to use space economically, citizens are only allowed to view government-approved TV shows, all transmission towers have been temporarily diverted in order to establish dialogue with a comet, and tourists outnumber citizens two to one. 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 304,527^th in the world and 10^th in Pontbridge Islands for Fattest Citizens, with 0.81 Obesity Rate.
