[edit] The Ghost Zone
The Ghost Zone is essentially the home of all full ghost characters on the show. The Ghost Zone is a dimension composed entirely of various forms of ectoplasm. The Ghost Zone features a wide variety of locations, all of them accessible through unusual doors that usually have something to do with what's through them.
A ghost portal is necessary to enter or exit the Ghost Zone. So far, four of the known portals are artificial; one created by the Fentons, one created by Vlad Masters, the small prototype portal that the three were involved with in their University days (though this one was never definitely shown to work), and the mirror to Sidney Poindexter's Casper High from the 50's (Although Danny broke it). However, there are also many other naturally created portals around the world as well (especially considering how often ghosts escape unnoticed by either of those parties). Some ghosts, like Wulf and Dark Danny, have also been able to create temporary ghost portals at will.
Different areas of the Ghost Zone have different properties. One area of the Zone is black and white, while another was frozen in the dark ages for example, but in most cases, it is a mostly green-ish dimension filled with random everyday floating objects.
In "Fright Night", you can see a Ghost Zone map created by Danny, Tucker, and Sam during "Prisoners of Love" and "Fanning the Flames" (the latter which the trio mentioned they are charting out a map of the Ghost Zone). As the map indicates, it's a work in progress. Interesting enough, it turns out from "Livin' Large", if the Ghost World is destroyed, Earth will be destroyed in the process as well.
[edit] The Infi-map
The Infi-map is a complete map of all the locations of all natural and man-made ghost portals within the Ghost Zone. The map itself resembles a scroll. It makes its first appearance in the episode "Infinite Realms" when Frostbite offers to let Danny and his friends use it to return home. Apart from being a complete map of the Ghost Zone, the map has the unique ability to transport its user(s) to any specific portal on the map. The map activates itself when the user(s) say where it is they want to go to. The Infi-map will immediately "fly" to the portal while the user(s) hang on to one end of the map. At the end of the episode, the map goes back to the care of Frostbite and his race so it is not certain whether Danny and his friends will use it again.
[edit] Government and Law
In past times, it seemed the entire zone was once in a monarchy state ruled under the iron fist of King Pariah Dark, powered by the Ring of Rage and Crown of Fire. However his harsh rules caused the ghosts of that time to rebel and place him in forever sleep for all eternity, removing his crown and ring.
In present time, it seems each of the ghost lairs goes by their own set of rules, yet they all obey general laws that are passed throughout, seeing as law enforcers Walker and his ghost cop doesn't seem to be limited on where they can arrest law breaking ghosts.
There is one law that all ghosts adhere to without question: to never fight during Christmas.
[edit] Locations
These are the known locations revealed throughout "Danny Phantom".
- Skulker's Lair: A floating jungle-filled 'island,' home to rogue ghost hunter Skulker. Danny and Valerie once had to traverse through it while handcuffed together as Skulker gave hunt to the both of them in "Life Lessons".
- The SplitZone (Black and White 1950's Zone): An entirely black and white world of the 1950's located and other times period before the main year that the show takes place entirely in apparently the Ghost Zone's version of Casper High, holding students of that time period. It was the "home" of Sidney Poindexter. First seen in "Splitting Images".
- Walker's Prison: The prison where Walker places the ghosts he arrested in jail. Danny was once sentenced to 1,000 years in prison for accidentally bringing into an object from the mortal world in "Prisoners of Love".
- Klemper's Realm: Mentioned in "Fright Night" and not really shown. It is probably the frozen, snowy wasteland shown in "Fanning the Flames" that indicates that it is his home.
- Pariah's Keep: The castle of the once great Pariah Dark, where he rest for all eternity, along with his servant, Fright Knight. Pariah Dark was once briefly awakened in "Reign Storm" accidentally by Vlad Plasimus, but with him, Danny, and a wide range of ghosts, they managed to return him back to his sleep. Fright Knight was revived for a short time during Fright Night, and again in Reign Storm where he agreed to work for Vlad under unknown circumstances .
- Clockwork's Headquarters: A giant Clocktower, the home to Clockwork, first shown in "The Ultimate Enemy", it is a place unaffected by time. The lair also contains the Fenton Thermos that is storing Dark Danny.
- Ghost Writer's Manor: Home to the Ghost Writer, the mansion is literally filled with books, resembling that of a library. First shown in "The Fright Before Christmas".
- Technus' Home: While never shown, Technus in "Secret Weapons" once came out the doorway of presumably his own home.
- Aragon's Kingdom: A kingdom governed by Prince Aragon; it is a lair forever stuck in the medieval ages until "Beauty Marked" when Aragon's sister Dora rebelled and altered the kingdom so time can flow regularly.
- Box Realm (Storage Room): A part of the Ghost Zone where the Box Ghost lives in which many boxes of different size and shape float around as seen in Prisoners of Love and any ghost that is sucked into the Fenton Thermos is sent here.
- Realm of The Far Frozen (Frostbite's City): Similar to Antarctica, Frostbite and his yeti-ghost people live in a freezing cold area. They are also a warrior race and skilled with medicines and technology.
- Observants High Council Tribunal Headquarters: Apparent home of the Observants where they watch over Earth and commence judgment on ghosts who procede to do massive amounts of damage towards it.
In Infinite Realms, there were also ghost portals in the Ghost Zone that leads to each time period. Some of them include:
- The house of a little boy in 1942.
- Salem, Massachusetts during the time of the Salem Witchcraft Trials.
- The Roman Empire.
- A Buddhist temple.
- Kitty Hawk, North Carolina (The place where the Wright Brothers flew their first plane).
