The Hᴀᴜɴт”ɴG Spєcтʀє of The Ghost of Christmas Past is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Ghost with an even hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, enslaved workforce, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic, devout population of 4.44 billion Ghosts are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Įsgaršr. The average income tax rate is 39.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Christmas Past economy, worth 191 trillion Memories a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Basket Weaving, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 43,198 Memories, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians cheer the nation's surging death rate, Forn Sišr has been named as The Ghost of Christmas Past's national religion, shelters struggle to keep up with the endless intake of stray animals, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Ghost of Christmas Past's national animal is the Shadows of the Past, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Forn Sišr.

The Ghost of Christmas Past is ranked 93,621st in the world and 45th in Christmas for Most Beautiful Environments, with 574.53 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
