The Queendom of Booette is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and restrictive gun laws. The hard-working, cynical, devout population of 870 million ghosts are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.5%.

The strong haunted economy, worth 48.4 trillion coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 55,641 coins, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Booette's national animal is the goomba.

Booette is ranked 103,235^th in the world and 558^th in Ambition for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring 958.69 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
