The Peaceful Presense of The Spirit is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by The Spirit with a fair hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. Its hard-nosed, intelligent population of 2.719 billion hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal government concentrates mainly on Education, although Social Welfare and Healthcare are on the agenda. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Spirit City. The average income tax rate is 18%, but much higher for the wealthy. A small but healthy private sector is dominated by the Gambling industry.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, the government has undertaken a massive education and health program to combat VODAIS, prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, and religious organizations are being forced to leave the country or pay income taxes like everybody else. Crime is moderate, and the police force struggles against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Spirit's national animal is the Wind Spirit, its national religion is Secularism, and its currency is the Gold Coin.

The Spirit is ranked 158th in Spiritus and 65,630th in the world for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 1 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
