The Empire of Ganiax is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its public floggings, strictly enforced bedtime, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 46.005 billion Ganiaxians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 91.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Ganiaxian economy, worth a remarkable 9,121 trillion Xardas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 198,279 Xardas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government has declared its commitment to multilateralism, internet service is too costly for normal people to purchase, insurance companies charge extortionate premiums to cover homes near waterways, and the entire entry for Ganiax in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ganiax's national animal is the Stalker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ganiax is ranked 278,055th in the world and 9,530th in Balder for Most Stationary, with 7.74254365588 days.
