The Holy Empire of The Imam Khannate is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Il-Khagan with an even hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 1.755 billion iqtadars are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, with Education, Administration, and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Cambulac. The average income tax rate is 51.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Imam economy, worth 281 trillion Drachmas 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 an impressive 160,326 Drachmas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

It's often raining men (hallelujah) in Cambulac, the tenet of free speech is held dear, the fastest growing demographic of porn viewership is twelve to seventeen, and the nation refuses to provide international aid. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. The Imam Khannate's national animal is the Homo Neanderthalensis, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Mandate of Heaven.

The Imam Khannate is ranked 8,763^rd in the world and 6^th in Philosophers for Most Corrupt Governments, with 167.16 kickbacks per hour.
