The Masked Phantasms of Spooky24 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 16.384 billion Spooky24ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 31.2%.

The all-consuming Spooky24ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,602 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 97,796 Euros, with the richest citizens earning 7.5 times as much as the poorest.

Students who refuse to pray are expelled from school, thousands of picky mothers-in-law have been recruited to serve as even pickier cookery instructors, religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, and punk-rockers and girl-bands are united in their loss of fashion statements. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky24's national animal is the Dog.

Spooky24 is ranked 17,364^th in the world and 8^th in Pallaith for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,277.84 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
