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, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate population of 7.611 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 93.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squeetean economy, worth a remarkable 1,040 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 136,720 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Homophobia is off the menu, evasive politicians don't fail to strongly commit to not committing to a course of non-inaction, married couples must call each other "darling" or risk a fine, and ice-filled coffins are ominously positioned in the corner of every hospital ward. 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 6,058th in the world and 21st in Canada for Most Developed, scoring 93.52 on the Human Development Index.
