The Dominion of Squeete is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Richard Spenard with an even hand, and notable for its smutty television, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 7.851 billion Squeeteans 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 Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Squeete Bay. The average income tax rate is 93.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squeetean economy, worth a remarkable 1,058 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Trout Farming. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,873 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Intellectual snobbery has the cognoscenti sneering at anyone who doesn't have an opinion on the semiological drift of Umberto Eco's works, battlefield gains are quickly lost when enemies don't respect a time-out, children fear compulsory visits to their spiritual advisors more than the dentist, and bars are packed at all hours. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squeete's national animal is the Massasauga rattler, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is None.

Squeete is ranked 3,622nd in the world and 16th in Canada for Least Corrupt Governments, with 95.5 percentage of bribes refused.
