Women in Gynocracy are the dominant gender in almost every aspect of life.

The country is an absolute hereditary monarchy under Her Magnificence Queen Saint Linda the Magnificent; the franchise is only given to females over the age of 12; most land and property are owned by women; most personal wealth is female-owned; and there are numerous restrictions on what men and boys can do which do NOT apply to females.

Over all, it's pretty much a paradise for women!

Women are pretty much at the same level as men. Heck, Meciene even allows women to enlist in the army if they want to.

All citizens of Goias are equal under the law regardless of gender, race, ethnicity or any of these sort of differences. Discrimination on the basis of gender, race, ethnicity, etc. is banned by law, and harassment or abuse is treated as a very serious crime irrespective of who the victim is.

Socially speaking, both genders are pretty much completely equal thanks to a strong taboo against discrimination and the Goian emphasis on social equality and democratic socialism. Certain acts like men holding doors open for women or viceversa, that sort of thing, are frowned upon because they give the impression you don't think women can do it themselves. Small acts of courtesy are okay, as long as they don't imply some form of disadvantage/inferiority.

Women can join the military if they want to - no prob whatsoever.

Oh, and right now an overwhelming majority (95.7%) of the national police force are women, and the numbers are increasing so rapidly that the government predicts that within a few years, the police will be 100% female. Goians tend to trust female police officers more than male ones for various reasons, and the police is a highly prestigious institution within the country. So there ya go.

Superior to men. We are a Matriarchy, after all. Men do not have the same opportunities as women and are generally exploited significantly, used mainly for heavy manual labor and for "reproductive tools". The nation has a men's rights movement (Male Equality Now) hoping to accomplish their goals, and they have seen some progress in recent years.

Pretty much equal, but with equality there comes equality. If a woman breaks the law in any way she is subject to the same punishments that a man would get if he breaks the law, at work she is not let off doing the more difficult tasks just because she is a woman, after all thats what equality is isn't it? However, Fictions is also a conservative nation, women only serve one compulsory year in the military instead of the two years men get (this is because they are still expected to go out and raise a family, many just start work after leaving and no-one bothered to change the law to bring their service time up to two years) in rural areas they are generally seen as homemakers and arranged marriages and polygamy is common however those practices have pretty much stopped in urban and industrialized areas.

In Bavin, terms such as Male and Female are not allowed in lawbooks, except for obvious circumstances. Words like race and ethnicity are banned, and the Bavinese language doesn't have a word for race.


It sounds like the women in RightWIngChristians nation are oppressed.

Both genders are more or less equal socially, politically, or economically. We also have the right to privacy, so there have been a few reported incidents of spousal abuse.

Women in the Phenixican Empire hold the same rights as males,but very few find it hard to enter Politics as it's very much a 'man club' also the military has few high ranking female officers mostly because few of them can baet the sheer physical requirements demanded by every soldiers in the military. This is not a sexist term but males in Phenixican biology have surperior strength while women tend to be known as being more agile. There is quite a few Female knights.

They tend to do well in business, the Governor of the CTC (Citerian Trading Company) is a female and most of the designers of Bis Shipyards are Women.

Women in Ostronopolis are considered equal under the law, however, it is completely the choice of a business whether they hire a women or man to do a job. Generally not approving someone because they are a women is frowned upon, but is acceptable, so in many cases you will see businesses regularly employ women because denying them is bad for business.

Though, in many instances, you will see women choose to stay at home and cook and clean, as well as choose to do jobs like modeling and being employed as a stripper. However, the right to privacy is held dear, so a woman and man in a relationship or marriage may treat each other however they wish provided it is lawful.

The men of the nation often jokingly refer to the government as being a Matriarchy, despite that it is an open to all citizens to run for office, republic-democracy hybrid, utilising a parliamentary structure for the national level of government - it can get quire convoluted but that's the way people prefer it. Men and women hold equal power in the government and in all aspects of life. Due to tradition, however, women primarily are considered the head of the house because they generate a steady profit, and are less likely to be travelling merchants. Men often taken such jobs for a higher, more lucrative pay, though the risk is significantly greater. Which is why often the Premier is female and the representatives are usually female, whether they are the ambassador to the WA, or to another nation. There are no gender barriers to anything. Females can be travelling merchants as males can be the heads of the house, opting for a local profession. There is equal access to everything, the only known barrier is one's own merit. There is equal access to education, healthcare, et cetera, as it is the way the Prophets of Profit believed it should be.

Women in Greater Americania are not the equals of their male counterparts but they are afforded many of the same rights as men including the right to a fair trial. They are however encouraged to go into the work force as adding numerous new consumers adds to the economy and makes the women more productive. They cannot serve in military combat roles and the Military is quite strict on this policy, ensuring that they remain in such jobs such a nurse. Socially speaking, women are considered inferior to men by Greater Americanian society.
