The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan

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

Overview • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Womyn's Paradise of Gynostan is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Sister Number One with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.237 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 and Law & Order 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 18,448 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 761,163 Credits, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper sales are up, tourists visiting the nation are harangued for being capitalist pig-dogs, politicians accepting drinks in bars are executed for taking bribes, and a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero. 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 26^th in the world and 1^st in Pontbridge Islands for Most Popular Tourist Destinations, with 3,819.56 tourists per hour.
