We are a Blueberry Matriarchal state.

Also, the size of the female increases with age and rank.

Standard female citizen.

"Condemned" female (deemed to not be consuming enough goods, or has committed a felony)

A female of an elevated position (actually managing a factory) or over 21 years of age.

A high-ranking female (ambassador, head of transport, etc) or one over 30 years of age

This nation does not reflect the actual opinions of the poster at all, and this nation should not be taken seriously. At all. It's meant to be an over-the-top parody of dictatorships and oppressive regimes.

Neither. In the far future of Solar Communes, real sex changes(genetically engineered replacement of XY to XX and vice-versa included) are a fad and the psychological differences between male and female have been virtually eliminated by centuries of eugenics and genetic engineering to create a new definition humanity according to the vision of anarchism: as a species that are inherently non-hierarchical desiring of liberty rather than the opposite.

Women are respected and sometimes trusted with authority; mothers are some of the most important figures in the nation, and are venerated to the point of near-worship. But there is nothing with greater authority than the male-leader/father figure in Augarundus. Augarundus, simply put, is a nation founded by men, for men and with men.

Both. Although there are great number of women in high-paying jobs in the workforce, women actually prefer their cultural and historical jobs of being caregivers and watching over the household, and they are respected for it. There was never a sense in our nation of men being better than women or women being better than men. So, the men bring home the resources and the women use the resources for the advantage of the family, in a sense.

While are nation is not patriarchal in the sense that only men can run for certain positions, society in general is patriarchal, with the men usually being the bread winners, and the women being the child raisers.

Neither. They seek to break down all hierarchical structures. Replacing the traditional role of the oppressor and government bigwig from male to female would make no difference in their views.

New Olwe believes in equality. Neither matriarchies nor patriarchies are equal, as both oppress the less favored gender. We would never behave in such a way here.

Lately more equal, but in the past heavily matriarchal. Last names still tend to be mother's family name or mother's first name plus the word for "daughter" or "son." An exception to this is actually the royal family, which has the simple rules that the monarch never changes his or her name.

Until the last 40 years, divorce law was extremely slanted in favor of the female, as she could divorce her male at any time, for any reason, and keep almost everything.

The moroii clans are still heavily matriarchal.

Officially Gender plays no role in determining power, however typically Providers are a position of power, while nurturers are a secondary position. This is usually the case as only women are capable of birth biologically and therefore default to the nuturer position.

Females who forgo the usual motherhood ritual can however acheive high positions on power, no artificial constraints exist.
