The Commonwealth of Ghoulestan is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, soft-spoken computers, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 7.544 billion Ghouls are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Velvet. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ghoulish economy, worth a remarkable 1,719 trillion undollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an amazing 227,928 undollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

There's a shortage of swinging hot spots as land development grinds to a halt, the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks, every workday begins with group therapy, and politicians spend a lot of time hanging around kids' playgrounds. Crime is totally unknown. Ghoulestan's national animal is the catboy, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghoulestan is ranked 2,990^th in the world and 82^nd in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 12,005.36 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
