The Incorporated States of The ghosts is a mammoth, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning Kitsune population. The hard-working population of 5.638 billion ghostsians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 17.5%.

The ghostsian economy, worth 254 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is led by the Furniture Restoration industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 45,056 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The ghosts's national animal is the Kitsune, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

The ghosts is ranked 189,158^th in the world and 2^nd in The Gate for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 897.69 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
