My conclusion is that the place is real, and has some kind of interesting history relating to the church and women, but unsure if the Mirror article about the present day demand for men willing to submit to their rules is verifiable. It really needs a Portuguese speaker to decide that as that’s the language the source material is in.

Is this for real? http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/town-entire-population-made-up-4113722

And if so, should there be a Wikipedia entry about it? I started to draft one but am a little worried because there seems to be only one article about this mysterious town. Hoax, maybe.
