This story is intended to be the first part of a fiction series featuring some inhabitants of a far planet named Elien. Life on that planet revolves around Female supremacy in a context of sadomasochism, religious sexuality and lesbianism.
Actually, this first part is divided in two subparts.
The first is an introduction that sets the scene. Some readers might find it somewhat complex, I thought however that it would be helpful in reading the next parts to come.
The second subpart is some sort of a snapshot of life on Elien. The next parts will be on that model, providing descriptions of various aspects of the existence the inhabitants of the Planet of Females.

Introduction
A planet, its inhabitants, and their special customs
Elien, a small planet in constellation Sappho, located at millions of light-years from Earth, has a mass equivalent to one hundredth of the Earth's. It enjoys an exceptionally mild tropical or near-tropical climate, without extremes or cataclysms, and is blessed by beautiful landscapes and a diverse topography. All year long, the global average temperature is about 72 degrees Fahrenheit. The planet's economy is based on trade, tourism, agriculture, cattle rearing, hunting and fishing. Natural resources are abundant. The total population is a little over 2 million people. For nearly a century, Elien is entirely dominated by the Female people, organized as a theocracy centered on the worship of Goddess Gynea [from the Greek gynos: "female"].
More than forty years ago, this Female people was able to conquer the fifth and last nation that was still free on the planet, composed mainly of masochistic males. This was a rather easy victory as its opponents were not broken to warfare. Most of the time, these males were submitting to their Female counterparts in their own nation, both in their everyday and sexual life, making the nation a weak entity deprived of any solid structure. After a brief war of two months at sea and on land, the Females were able to impose the armistice conditions. The males became their slaves, and their female fellow citizens suffered the same fate or were incorporated into the Female population after thorough scrutiny based on race. However most of the vanquished males were happy to submit to a new Female race. Since then, the Female people rules that last unconquered territory and, therefore, the entire planet.
Politically and administratively, the Queendom is divided into five provinces, each one under the authority of a Priestess-Governess. And the five Priestesses-Governesses are subordinate to Alpha, the High Priestess, who is also head of the planetary government and first delegate of Goddess Gynea. Alpha's palace is located in Gynepolis, capital of the Queendom, where 800,000 people - including the slaves - are living. It stands in the part of the city encompassing the Great Temple of Goddess Gynea and its dependencies. The Goddess is a human, mortal Female. Everything on the planet is centered on Her worship. A cruel and sadistic worship based on Female supremacy. Males are considered lowly creatures, ranked at the bottom hierarchical level. For the Females of Gynea, males are slaves used for work, breeding and sexual pleasure.
On Elien, the social structure under Goddess Gynea - the Supreme Being on Whom everybody and everything depends and to Whom everybody and everything is subordinate - comprises four levels. The highest level is the clergy, itself divided in two sub-levels, the high and low clergies. The high clergy, lead by the High Priestess Alpha, is made up of twenty priestesses, of whom fifteen live and officiate at the Great Temple of Gynepolis and five in the capitals of the five provinces, where there are also less grandiose temples. It leads all government affairs, similar to a ministerial cabinet, under a political body called the Sacerdotal Senate. The low clergy comprises two religious communities: the cloistered contemplative worshippers and the servants. The latter community is the only clergy group where males are admitted in a slave status. That second community also admits Females, albeit on a voluntary basis. Often, young Females receive the status of servant at the instigation of their families hoping that they might one day become contemplative worshippers or even priestesses. The three other social classes are the nobility, the bourgeoisie and the plebs, the latter comprising Female servants and male slaves.
The political regime of Gynea is entirely based on a religious foundation. Government decisions and the behavior of each and every citizen abide by the Ten Commandments of Goddess Gynea, which are sternly applied by the high clergy. The High Priestess and the twenty other priestesses also act as members of the Sacerdotal Senate. The five priestesses-governesses heading the five provinces are responsible for the application of the Law of Gynea and the edicts adopted by the Sacerdotal Senate sitting at the Great Temple of Gynepolis. The Ten Commandments of Goddess Gynea are based on three main pillars: an erotico-religious worship of the Goddess; the complete submission of all males to the Females without exception; and a life of perversions and sadomasochism.
Since the last decisive military victory, more than forty years ago, the Gynean regime is very efficient at pairing and mixing its gynerotic-theological and economic components. As a result, the health of the economy is good, thanks to the abundant natural resources and to the wisdom of the Females in power.
