The Calmari Collective Capacity of Squid Ruinosa is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by The Beakest with an even hand, and notable for its zero percent divorce rate, state-planned economy, and otherworldly petting zoo. The quiet, industrious population of 24.658 billion Squodts are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, corrupt, socially-minded morass — juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tadamoon. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The powerhouse Squinem economy, worth a remarkable 3,461 trillion Pressed Scuttles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing and Book Publishing. Average income is an impressive 140,377 Pressed Scuttles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

They who do not work shall not eat, politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, Squinem novella fans become unusually flustered when thinking about The Beakest, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squid Ruinosa's national animal is the Lesser Squiden, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Orthoconist.

Squid Ruinosa is ranked 9,457th in the world and 227th in The East Pacific for Most Cultured, scoring 121 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
