The Colony of Ganud is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Maximillian the Fierce with an even hand, and renowned for its feral children, national health service, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 1.648 billion Ganudians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The tiny, liberal government is primarily concerned with Industry, with Environment, Education, and Administration also on the agenda, while Law & Order and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yugar. The average income tax rate is 4.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Ganudian economy, worth 174 trillion Mocas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Information Technology, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 105,941 Mocas, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

Commemorative mugs remembering last year's Black Friday Crockery Riots are a best seller this year, it is illegal for a parent to tell a child to stop eating their boogers, citizens are expected to be armed at all times, and fifty years of pension funds can disappear in half a second. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ganud's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Mesarian Kantu.

Ganud is ranked 41,316^th in the world and 259^th in Europeia for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 4.16 Bank.
