The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, hatred of cheese, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 25.465 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 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 20,250 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 795,237 Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The sound of wooden legs echo throughout Gynostan after the recent introduction of the Foot Tax, government theft from poor artists to give to rich allies has been dubbed the "reverse Robin Hood" policy, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', and captains must wait until all rats are safe before jumping ship. 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 21,774^th in the world and 3^rd in Pontbridge Islands for Most World Assembly Endorsements, with zero valid endorsements.
