The Holy High Kingdom of Gankands is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Victor Tarleton von Arcadia-Sova with an iron fist, and notable for its closed borders, ubiquitous missile silos, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.731 billion Gankandsians 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 prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important, while Social Policy and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Marlvich. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Gankandsian economy, worth a remarkable 2,970 trillion pounds a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 384,243 pounds, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Bus shelters seem to be designed to let rain in, it is a common belief that a sport isn't sport if there are no decapitations, men who wear pink are seen as dangerously unmanly, and the volume of paperwork used to complete a single environmental assessment defeats the purpose. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Gankands's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Imperial Cult.

Gankands is ranked 69,000th in the world and 1st in Dacia for Most Stationary, with 682.80363939428 days.
