The Best Bartenders of Spooky17 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Lloyd with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 16.588 billion Spooky17ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 47.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Spooky17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,902 trillion marks a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 114,721 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Tampons are used as cheap fishing bobbers, Lloyd has promised 'power to the puppies', the nation threatens sanctions on islands only visible at low tide, and the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spooky17's national animal is the turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Spooky17 is ranked 35,263^rd in the world and 4^th in Pallaith for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 60,343.42 Standard Monetary Units.
