The Calamaripublic of Dunsteen is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Squidward Tentacles with an even hand, and renowned for its pith helmet sales, national health service, and smutty television. The compassionate, hard-working population of 7.457 billion Dunstenes have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikini Bottom. The average income tax rate is 56.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dunsteenian economy, worth a remarkable 1,127 trillion clarinets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 151,191 clarinets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Industry tycoons rarely hide their misdeeds due to the government's habit of bailing them out, the state pays for care of easily preventable illnesses, the police turn a blind eye to desecration if it's done in the name of religion or protest, and bombs make good ploughs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dunsteen's national animal is the squid, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Squidism.

Dunsteen is ranked 88,172nd in the world and 30th in Metropolitan Union for Highest Workforce Participation Rate, with 73.32 Workforce Participation Rate.
