The Holy Empire of The Imam Khannate is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Il-Khagan with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, ban on automobiles, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.743 billion iqtadars are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambulac. The average income tax rate is 50.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imam economy, worth 278 trillion Drachmas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 159,686 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, it is said that an Imam woman's work is never done, the government only announces the deaths of its members when it's convenient, and arthritic citizens seem underrepresented at royal meet-and-greets. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Imam Khannate's national animal is the Homo Neanderthalensis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mandate of Heaven.

The Imam Khannate is ranked 265,889^th in the world and 150^th in Philosophers for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -8.6 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
