The Invisibility of Spooks is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Harry Pierce with an even hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 27.101 billion Spooks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of London. The average income tax rate is 63.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but sluggish Spooky economy, worth 667 trillion Pounds a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. Average income is 24,613 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Spooks has designated London as its capital city, Harry Pierce has just been declared ruler of Spooks in an international press conference, and agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooks's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Spooks is ranked 152,652^nd in the world and 1^st in The Black Eagles for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,760.57 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
