The Spectral Enigma of Ghost Train is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Rebbecca Drothow with a fair hand, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, daily referendums, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 9.527 billion Ghost Trainians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spectral. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghost Trainian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion lightbulbs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 130,474 lightbulbs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

The military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, Ghost Train successfully hosted the Top Hat Kingdom Olympics, and elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Ghost Train's national animal is the raven, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Violetism.

Ghost Train is ranked 53,541^st in the world and 2^nd in Top Hat Kingdom for Lowest Crime Rates, with 73.23 law-abiding acts per hour.
