The Republic of Polltergeist is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning vote population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 27.751 billion Polltergeistians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Public Transport, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 39.8%.

The Polltergeistian economy, worth 908 trillion polls a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 32,735 polls, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Polltergeist's national animal is the vote, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Polltergeist is ranked 235,317^th in the world and 2^nd in Poll News Network for Largest Cheese Export Sector, scoring zero on the Mozzarella Productivity Index.
