The High Quality Strains of Ganja is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by The Ganja God with a fair hand, and notable for its frequent executions, smutty television, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.195 billion Ganjans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, outspoken government prioritizes Education, with Environment, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense and Law & Order aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Marijuana Greenhouse. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Ganjan economy, worth a remarkable 3,702 trillion ounces 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 174,682 ounces, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The entire entry for Ganja in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the World reads 'mostly harmless', sex changes are routinely performed at Ganja's hospitals, referenda are held for every conceivable government action, and courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Ganjans. Crime is totally unknown. Ganja's national animal is the otter, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Ganja.

Ganja is ranked 243,679th in the world and 1st in Ganja for Safest, scoring 34.23 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
