The Commendations of Ghant is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Emperor Nathan IV and Empress Sophia with a fair hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 24.433 billion Ghantar hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The large, liberal 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 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghantish economy, worth a remarkable 6,119 trillion Ghantmarks a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Book Publishing, Tourism, and Gambling. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 250,480 Ghantmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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 294,132^nd in the world and 27^th in Gholgoth for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -45.63 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
