The Universal Ape Empire of Specter Land is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Specter with an iron fist, and notable for its deadly medical pandemics, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.052 billion Primates are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Law & Order, Industry, and Education also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tomouki City. The average income tax rate is 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Primation economy, worth a remarkable 9,181 trillion Specter Coins 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. 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 an amazing 436,133 Specter Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

School lessons are constantly interrupted by 'teacher needs a break' time, citizens who don't recite the Pledge of Specter Land at least three times a day are placed on a terrorist watch-list, the media seems excessively interested in what Specter is wearing this season, and politicians have literally dirty hands from their extracurricular activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Specter Land's national animal is the Ape, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Teachings of Specter.

Specter Land is ranked 3,117th in the world and 1st in The Zilliaskian Banter Alliance for Lowest Crime Rates, with 129.19 law-abiding acts per hour.
