The Dominion of Squeete is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Prime Minister Richard Spenard with an even hand, and renowned for its sprawling nuclear power plants, complete lack of prisons, and pith helmet sales. The compassionate population of 7.722 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 92.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Squeetean economy, worth a remarkable 1,033 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 133,835 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The government is in utter turmoil following the recent abolishment of the tax code, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, at customs baggage gets an x-ray and female travelers get an ultrasound, and the nation's security is vitally dependent on imports of None. 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 2,266th in the world and 15th in Canada for Safest, scoring 141.31 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
