The People's Republic of The Ghol is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Turk with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 6.166 billion Gholians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxemburg. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gholian economy, worth 944 trillion shekelims a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 153,130 shekelims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, sex changes are routinely performed at The Ghol's hospitals, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ghol's national animal is the ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Ghol is ranked 86,313^th in the world and 114^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Populations, with 6.17 billion capita.
