The Dominion of Ghost Bear is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and punitive income tax rates. The democratic, devout population of 1.528 billion Ghost Bearians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 54.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but inefficient Ghost Bearian economy, worth 56.4 trillion kronor a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,918 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

All footpaths have tollbooths, a major religion has been named as Ghost Bear's national religion, Leader has just been declared ruler of Ghost Bear in an international press conference, and Ghost Bear has designated Ghost Bear City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghost Bear's national animal is the ghost bear.

Ghost Bear is ranked 268,523^rd in the world and 6^th in The Phoenix Concordat for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -8.12 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
