The Empire of Ghant is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Nathan IV and Empress Sophia with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, absence of drug laws, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, cheerful population of 17.562 billion Ghantar hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghish. The average income tax rate is 92.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghantish economy, worth a remarkable 4,441 trillion Ghantmarks a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an amazing 252,908 Ghantmarks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Ghantar refer to transgender people with insults instead of pronouns, ticket touts are blamed for the downfall of communism, military equipment stores have a tendency to go up in flames, and the government has officially clarified that "wee on your hands to save time" does not count as proper hygiene. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ghant's national animal is the Great Auk, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghant is ranked 663^rd in the world and 3^rd in Gholgoth for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 26,976.49 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
