The People's Republic of Khalkhin Gol is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate population of 2.501 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Defence, Education, and Social Welfare. The average income tax rate is 82%, and even higher for the wealthy. A healthy private sector is dominated by the Book Publishing industry.

The police have been swamped with requests to stay up past bedtime, nude art is becoming wildly popular, billions of Coinages are being blown on orbital weapons development, and students cut up leftover Coinages during Arts and Crafts. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khalkhin Gol's national animal is the Grizzly Bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is None, and its currency is the Coinage.

Khalkhin Gol is ranked 3,563rd in the Pacific and 83,055th in the world for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
