The Empire of Khalsa Panth is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Maharaja Kharak Singh with an even hand, and remarkable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 2.172 billion Punjabis are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lahore. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 33.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Khalsa Panthian economy, worth 236 trillion Nanak Shahi Sikkes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 108,768 Nanak Shahi Sikkes, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Even secular Punjabis are shouting "Blessed are the cheesemakers!", coalition governments are essential to passing new laws, corporate executives continue to enjoy generous tax benefits while the public is taxed to the hilt, and political candidates who don't release their birth certificates are presumed to have been born in Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Khalsa Panth's national animal is the Tiger, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sikhism.

Khalsa Panth is ranked 45,801^st in the world and 2,631^st in Balder for Most Corrupt Governments, with 45.44 kickbacks per hour.
