The Ashen Islands of Kaghnav is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Jimidtry Vaasnovitch with an iron fist, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cynical population of 2.24 billion Kaghnavians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Noma'ghvar. The average income tax rate is 70.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Kaghnavian economy, worth 238 trillion Nirs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Average income is an impressive 106,422 Nirs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The moral worth of national allies is judged by their GDP, there are six more weeks of winter if a northerner sees her shadow, children as young as eight can present logical proofs for the existence of the afterlife, and throwing a sickie is a serious crime. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Kaghnav's national animal is the Zephyr, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ignisivuetus.

Kaghnav is ranked 56,882^nd in the world and 1^st in Hairy Maguwayah for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 4,488.57 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
