The Ithacanate of Grand Khevsaria is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Phontenael III Acotdrun with an even hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, parental licensing program, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, devout population of 3.172 billion Khevsarians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kȧbȧt Ír-Ymmȧtenȧkh. The average income tax rate is 82.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Grand Khevsarian economy, worth 361 trillion Okhȧvs a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 113,870 Okhȧvs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Praying before a battle is a court-martial offence, the cruise missile launchers on the field hospital roof are purely deterrent in purpose, the tightness of border controls in Grand Khevsaria leave a little to be desired, and increasing inclusiveness is a sign of the times. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Grand Khevsaria's national animal is the Vhalidharuun, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Gholghoro-Khevsarian Pantheon.

Grand Khevsaria is ranked 118,528th in the world and 21st in Arkonos for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 138,929 Standard Monetary Units.
