The Confederacy of Squornshelan Remnant States is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by President Jelena Dosun with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, daily referendums, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic population of 12.745 billion Confederates are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalesm. The average income tax rate is 81.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Confederate economy, worth 719 trillion springs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 56,483 springs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Businesses are forced to bring all work back within the nation's borders, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, history textbook pages are used as impromptu tissues by distraught students, and meat prices are soaring as the farming industry struggle under government-imposed restrictions. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squornshelan Remnant States's national animal is the mattress, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Squornshelan Remnant States is ranked 264,908^th in the world and 36^th in Arrosia for Most Corrupt Governments, with 0.71 kickbacks per hour.
