The Forest Spirits of Spooky7 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its zero percent divorce rate, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.374 billion Spooky7ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 67.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Spooky7ian economy, worth 872 trillion pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Beef-Based Agriculture, Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 76,673 pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Unemployed youngsters trained to kill are being released en masse into society, the deaf are perplexed when the weather report tells them that the wind will be "bringing some rain along the Nazi ghosts", the practice of capital punishment proves divisive, and politicians live in luxury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky7's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spooky7 is ranked 87,650th in the world and 17th in Pallaith for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 2,494.3 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
