The Inky Ghosts of Spooky20 is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Inky with an iron fist, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete lack of prisons, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.472 billion Spooky20ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 45.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Spooky20ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,775 trillion francs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,776 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.5 times as much as the poorest.

Saturday morning cartoons feature full frontal nudity, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, Spooky20 City University is said to be the modern-day Tower of Babel, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky20's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Spooky20 is ranked 200,030^th in the world and 27^th in Pallaith for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 54.66 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
