The Ugly Little Spuds of Spooky9 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Slimer with an iron fist, and renowned for its infamous sell-swords, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.281 billion Spooky9ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.5%.

The all-consuming Spooky9ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,021 trillion marks a year, is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 90,567 marks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 259,300 per year while the poor average 25,182, a ratio of 10.3 to 1.

Prime commercial land is being swamped with archaeological teams, vaccinations are mandatory, a weakened police force struggles to maintain law and order, and wood-framed catapults are ready to launch diseased corpses into besieged cities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky9's national animal is the wolf.

Spooky9 is ranked 117,074^th in the world and 31^st in Pallaith for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.01 law-abiding acts per hour.
