The Psycho Ghosts of Spooky18 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, public floggings, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.2 billion Spooky18ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 54.0%.

The all-consuming Spooky18ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,242 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 110,973 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Wearing a daisy chain is a fast-track ticket to unemployment, Leader's speeches are beloved by insomniacs, postcards from Spooky18ian driving test centres are popular souvenirs, and people unhook their phones at night to escape a never-ending barrage of phone calls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky18's national animal is the leopard, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spooky18 is ranked 14,376th in the world and 20th in Pallaith for Most Stationary, with 1,819.78357144888 days.
