The Ethereal Dominion of King of the Ghosts is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Spectral Sovereign Phantasmor with an even hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, otherworldly petting zoo, and national health service. The compassionate population of 12.208 billion Ghosts enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The large, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Crypt City. The average income tax rate is 90.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient King of the Ghostsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,662 trillion Wraithcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 136,214 Wraithcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One can wake up in King of the Ghosts and have breakfast in Bigtopia, noises louder than a whisper have been prohibited by law, the King of the Ghostsian delegation to the World Assembly is having a hard time convincing people that international law will "pay for itself somehow...", and a traveller who once stubbed a toe on an Air Brancaland flight has been offered asylum. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. King of the Ghosts's national animal is the Ethereal Griffon, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is The Cult of the Eternal Veil.

King of the Ghosts is ranked 283,087^th in the world and 1^st in The New Cipheron for Most Primitive, scoring -389.42 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
