The Holy Empire of Khaatad is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, devout population of 1.336 billion Khaatadians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khaatadin-Usima. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khaatadian economy, worth 146 trillion antaiks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 109,648 antaiks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Discarded pennies litter the streets, psychiatrists that date patients are congratulated on their romantic conquests, the government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, and diplomats miss flights while wandering Khaatadin-Usima Airport's endless art maze. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khaatad's national animal is the Six-tailed scorpion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Khaatad is ranked 73,932^nd in the world and 6^th in Nevadian Mandate for Largest Black Market, with 5.31 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
