The Pink Ghosts of Spooky15 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Pinky with an even hand, and notable for its infamous sell-swords, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.289 billion Spooky15ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.9%.

The thriving Spooky15ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 trillion lire a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 92,584 lire, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing, blood donations have been banned because of the risk of eternal unrest, and breast milk lattes are the newest fad among hip urbanites. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky15's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spooky15 is ranked 93,854th in the world and 26th in Pallaith for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.65 law-abiding acts per hour.
