The People's Republic of The Ghol is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Turk with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, rampant corporate plagiarism, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 6.194 billion Gholians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Luxemburg. The average income tax rate is 97.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Gholian economy, worth 948 trillion shekelims a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 153,130 shekelims, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward, sex changes are routinely performed at The Ghol's hospitals, the amount welfare recipients spend on fertilizer has exploded, and praying before a battle is a court-martial offence. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ghol's national animal is the ibex, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Ghol is ranked 213,977^th in the world and 179^th in The Leftist Assembly for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring -3.35 on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
