The Microcosm of Ghost Lincoln is a massive, cultured nation, notable for its public floggings, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 4.247 billion Ghouls 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, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of SPATULA CITY. The average income tax rate is 86.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Ghost Lincolnian economy, worth 172 trillion P'zones a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Pizza Delivery, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,572 P'zones, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation turns a blind eye to human rights abuses in its quest for athletic supremacy, science centers and state of the art laboratories are ubiquitous, in a desperate bid for cheap airfare Ghouls can be seen jogging in a rubber suit just before flying, and Leader spends weekends doing the laundry of foreign leaders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ghost Lincoln's national animal is the PT Cruiser, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Ghost Lincoln is ranked 164,646^th in the world and 1^st in Weed for Largest Mining Sector, scoring 49.49 on the Blue Sky Asbestos Index.
