The Empire of Ghant IV is a gargantuan, safe nation, remarkable for its absence of drug laws, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 20.308 billion Ghant IVians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Ghant IVian economy, worth 397 trillion Ghantmarks 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 a slick, highly efficient, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 19,589 Ghantmarks, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghant IV's national animal is the Direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghant IV is ranked 142,411th in the world and 55th in Greater Dienstad for Most Stationary, with 194.2281395828 days.
