The Rogue Nation of Ghost the Direwolf is a massive, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The democratic population of 4.15 billion Direwolves love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Winterfell. The average income tax rate is 65.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Ghostly economy, worth 56.9 trillion jons a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Arms Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 13,722 jons, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Genetic researchers have been expelled, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, the government is giving peace a chance, and Ghost the Direwolf has designated Winterfell as its capital city. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghost the Direwolf's national animal is the direwolf, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghost the Direwolf is ranked 254,907th in the world and 2nd in eeeeeeeeee for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.32 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
