The Empire of Ghanhayel is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Emperor Tazio III with an iron fist, and remarkable for its frequent executions, ubiquitous missile silos, and strictly enforced bedtime. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 24.88 billion Ghanhayelians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is effectively ruled by the Department of Defense, with Welfare not funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kaidohayok. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 93.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghanhayelian economy, worth a remarkable 5,733 trillion Arodayens a year, is fairly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 230,426 Arodayens, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 678,103 per year while the poor average 61,650, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

The military sees national borders more as guidelines than absolutes, for 25 Arodayens tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, spousal homicide rates have tripled in recent months, and governments opposing Ghanhayel are beset by rebels. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghanhayel's national animal is the Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Ntoismsàyhi.

Ghanhayel is ranked 220,068th in the world and 11,174th in Lazarus for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring 468.25 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
