The Sultanate of Ghomerl is a huge, orderly nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema, feral children, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 645 million Ghomerlians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ghomerl City. The average income tax rate is 65.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ghomerlian economy, worth 45.4 trillion korngs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 70,333 korngs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A degree in Leader Science with a Minor in Awesomeology starts many political careers, Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused, on-duty Air Ghomerl flight attendants are usually seen napping in first class, and doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license. Crime is relatively low. Ghomerl's national animal is the ghoul, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Ghomerl is ranked 28,270th in the world and 231st in 10000 Islands for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring 1 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
