The Evil Republic of Ghost Land is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by King Warlock Ghost VI with an iron fist, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 17.37 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, with Law & Order, Education, and Administration also on the agenda. 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 7,381 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 424,966 Pumpkins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government extracts trade concessions from poor nations in exchange for humanitarian aid, women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets, bins outnumber trees in city parks, and kindergartners' favourite dance move is the stop-drop-and-roll. 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 1,675^th in the world and 1^st in Groovy for Lowest Crime Rates, with 151.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
