The Imperial Commonwealth of Khenala is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Prime Minister Andrew Seal with an even hand, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 28.613 billion Khenalians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Social Policy, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Khenala Prime. The average income tax rate is 79.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Khenalian economy, worth a remarkable 4,784 trillion mesetas a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 167,231 mesetas, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A faint smell of body odour can be detected at several miles' distance from the National Science Park, bemused schoolkids colour in their favourite quadratic equations with crayons, 75% of the words in government-funded "Super Fun Maths Games" are probably inaccurate, and sending sick politicians "Get Well Soon" cards is considered bribery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Khenala's national animal is the Sun Phoenix, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Khenala is ranked 1,723^rd in the world and 1^st in Titan for Nicest Citizens, with 74.05 average smiles per day.
