The Evil Republic of Ghost Land is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Warlock Ghost VI with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, irreverence towards religion, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.435 billion Ghostlanders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Administration are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spookville. The average income tax rate is 98.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghost Landian economy, worth a remarkable 7,410 trillion Pumpkins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 425,008 Pumpkins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, bins outnumber trees in city parks, kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll, and veterans' meet-ups involve a lot of tail sniffing. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghost Land's national animal is the Black Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spookism.

Ghost Land is ranked 2,620^th in the world and 1^st in Groovy for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 19,264.47 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
