The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan

“From each to his ability, each according to her needs!”

The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, national health service, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 22.797 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 16,635 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 729,741 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Conscientious objectors are hanged as traitors, Gyno watches are often the only thing to survive a disaster intact, schoolchildren quote interesting facts about the square of the hypotenuse, and children playing with walkie-talkies are told to 'get a job'. 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 2,185^th in the world and 1^st in Pontbridge Islands for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 6,379.87 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
