A Brief History

Founded in 1948 by Derek Archibald Spoot IIX the City was originally a large mansion type structure, as further Circus tours were cancelled the hordes of Clowns and Freaks soon began to build houses around the Spoot Mansion, a shanty town had been erected, Mr Spoot could see the terrible conditions that his former employees were living in and so he started a Circus show on the island, it wasd an immediate success and the Shanty town soon dissapeared.

The City prospered and as more towns began to crop up the City was declared the unofficial Capitol for all of Spooty, when the country was officially recognised in 1976 Spootopolis became the Capitol City aswell as the Capitol State, Mr Spoot ruled out from the Spoot Mansion for another 26 years before being ejected by Mr Fungles.

The Big Top was built on the then outskirts of the town, it was supposed to get rid of the Shanty towns around Spootopolis, a task which it suceeded in, the Big top is still used to this day, it broadcasts live images to SKB (Spiff Kids Broadcasting)

Holy Church of Pink Floyd

Mr Spoot eventually collapsed under pier pressure and built this monument to the national religon, the Church is adorned with Barretist symbols and is proud to have at it's spire a relica of the machines used in the song "one of these days" nicknamed the division bell, every Satarday night the division bell rings causing the faithful to their knees.

The Floydian State
