Spooty is a small volcanic island located somewhere in the Atlantic ocean, it claims it's links to Belgium and the Circus show which spawned off the nation, the peoples tend to be lazy and do only what they feel they need to do, the old saying used to be "why put off till tomorrow what can be avoided altogether?"

A Brief History

in the early 1890's Derek Archibald Spoot VII inherited his ecentric Uncle's Circus show, with his training as a entraupeneur Derek Spoot took the dwindling business from a mere blip on the circus radar to a fully fledged monopoly, he had taken on and beaten the other circuses such as the Maskerade Circus and the Cirque de Spooteh, trouble began when the near army sized circus began to deviate from orders, chaos erupted as shows were either diverted or cancaled, Derek Spoot passed the torch onto his only son, Derek Archibald Spoot IIX, who realised the only solution was to have the command centre for the Circus as a nation, this would also cut down on the expenses of travel, a small unclaimed volcanic island was taken and the business once again took off, but it never reached the highs of it's heyday, TV and Radio had killed off the Travelling Circus Show, Mr Spoot looked then onto concentrating on making the tiny nation of Spooty far more welcoming and liberal.

Recent Events

Ninja Strike Team, War for Independance

Due to a beaurocratic error on Mr Spoot's part, a small chunk of the Volcanic island remained unclaimed, the gap was filled by the Ninja Strike Team 1, soon the two nations began to share friendship and relations, the Dictatorial nation of NST1 soon began to ease off on it's citizens, this angered Mr Tan who broke off from the NST1 and settup the NST2 a war was fought that lasted all of two days, the NST2 managed to push the NST1 back into one small fortress, Mr Tan was however forced to sign a cease fire, soon after the Ninja Strike Team nations vanished into obscurity.

El Caudillo Events

Events in extremist El Caudillo angered the normally peaceful Mr Fungles, he went off to a confrence to discuss the affairs within El Caudillo, it was a short lived confrence that did not produce any great results, Mr Fungles was harrassed by the Transylvanian delegate who seemed to take offence to Mr Fungles apperance, after the confrence three Paddle Steamers were sent to retrieve refugees from El Caudillo, after loading full the refugees mysteriously detonated just off the coast of Caudillo, it was a harrowing experience that Mr Fungles wished never to happen again.

Circus State

The Volcanic island is split into 5 subsectors, each with it's own leader, this is known as a Circus State, it makes things far more democratic and far more better for everyone

Spootopolis

The Capitol province of Spooty, the leader of Spooty also controls this territory, currently Mr Fungles runs this state, it has previously been lead by Mr Spoot.

Maskerade

This province is home to the national military for the whole of Spooty, the Ringleader Guard, it is no question as to why this is the most militaristic of all the States, it is lead by Mr Spiff, Military Advisor to Mr Fungles.

Candy-Land

Candy-Land was not officially recognised until 16 years ago, before that it was a large chocolate factory, the CEO currently holds power here, Mr Silli Splonka.

Freak Show

When the Circus disbanded all the mutants fled to this province fearing possible beatings, they were instead nurtured and taken well care of, in thanks the mutants decided to remain a part of Spooty, occasionally there is trouble from the Halfling sect who copmplain that mutations were caused by Mr Spoot long ago, Mr Splitt rules here.

Mount Spooteh

The smallest of the States contains the relitivly small crater of Mount Spooteh, a volcano which has remained dormant for the past 60 years, the task of ruling this province always falls upon those who are unwilling, currently Mr Spoot, the former ruler of Spooty, resides here.

Links With Floydism

The Floydist movement washed upon the shores of Spooty long ago, it's somewhat bizarre and cultural links made it a great religon for the Freaks in the State of Freak Show, it did not stop there as the church spread soon into the States of Mount Spoot, Spootopolis and Maskerade, so far Silli Splonk has been the only leader to survive the spread of Floydism, of course with the Holy Church comes the Worms, a small group exists in Spootopolis but it is the states laws not to harm any citizens and so the Worms can continue unchallanged
