The Community of BoxGhostia is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by THE BOX GHOST with an even hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, anti-smoking policies, and digital currency. The quiet, industrious population of 19.581 billion BoxGhostians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Amity Park. The average income tax rate is 86.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse BoxGhostian economy, worth a remarkable 1,443 trillion Boxes a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 73,721 Boxes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, the parliament building has installed a revolving door, movie producers send film critics wads of cash in their morning newspapers in anticipation of gushing praise, and a primitive society is being eroded as its youth flock to the modern world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. BoxGhostia's national animal is the Box Ghost, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

BoxGhostia is ranked 300,857th in the world and 11,445th in Osiris for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -13.49 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
