The Empire of Ahzahn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Chairman Stahl with a fair hand, and notable for its sprawling nuclear power plants. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, intelligent population of 3.766 billion enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and the Environment receiving almost no funds by comparison. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helgahn. The average income tax rate is 22%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Tourism.

Skateboarding is the only legal way to travel, billions of Credits are being blown on orbital weapons development, the military is blowing up any threat to employment within the nation, and marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ahzahn's national animal is the Jaguar, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, its national religion is Agnostic Atheism, and its currency is the Credit.

Ahzahn is ranked 119th in the West Pacific and 5,364th in the world for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 5 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
