The Republic of Ghurana Nent is a huge, cultured nation, remarkable for its museums and concert halls, prohibition of alcohol, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 767 million Ghurana Nentians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 75.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Ghurana Nentian economy, worth 45.6 trillion credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 59,403 credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Signs at the border tell international drivers where they can put their cars, therapists dispense hugs for heroin dealers and cuddles for crackheads, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and it is believed that belligerence is a passing phase foreign leaders will soon outgrow. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghurana Nent's national animal is the capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghurana Nent is ranked 216,233^rd in the world and 307^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 767 million capita.
