The Edible and Distressed Ghosts of Spooky25 is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Blue with an iron fist, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, compulsory military service, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.332 billion Spooky25ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 46.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Spooky25ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,484 trillion Monies 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Uranium Mining. 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 90,865 Monies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, the police double as repo men, rumor has it that Blue has won three lotteries in a row, and returning tourists and businessmen are detained without trial if they belong to the "wrong" religion. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky25's national animal is the Wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spooky25 is ranked 72,137^th in the world and 10^th in Pallaith for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 48,612.86 Standard Monetary Units.
