The Masked Phantasms of Spooky24 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its complete lack of prisons, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.213 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 government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 28.1%.

The all-consuming Spooky24ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,029 trillion Euros a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 91,841 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

Beaches are empty as the shark population multiplies exponentially, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, Arms Manufacturing facilities are being turned into Dog habitats, and Spooky24 City is a police state during international summits. 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, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spooky24 is ranked 77,651^st in the world and 26^th in Pallaith for Most Patriotic, with 18.1 flags saluted per person per day.
