If the government knew of this planet, they would have no logical reason to hide it. The planet would be dead biologically, and likely quiet geologically as well due to the lack of solar radiation, and the frigid temperatures this entails.
Outside the orbit of Pluto, we enter into the Oort cloud. this enormous group of comets and asteroids stretches millions of miles beyond Pluto, and would make a full blown planet virtually impossible in this area. Beyond the Oort cloud.....Who knows.

planet x is so called because it's the X-factor which is alloted to solve and explain certain behaviors of planets.
the planet might not be dead biologically because it might very well be a gas giant and might be radioactive. (self-heating).
you don't know what reasonable circumstances the government might have to hide it, it could be the same reason the US uses the 'standard' system.
