The Empire of Ganchelkas is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, hard-working population of 1.624 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Commerce, and Social Welfare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 52%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, followed by Beef-Based Agriculture and Uranium Mining.
Ganchelkas's children are widely acknowledged as the most foul-mouthed in the region, the government pours millions of Merlinas into rehabilitation programs annually, long arduous trials are held for the most trivial of offences, and prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ganchelkas's national animal is the ganchelkean shepherd, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the Merlina.
Ganchelkas is ranked 6th in the region and 29,680th in the world for Largest Information Technology Sector.
