The Holy Empire of SquonglEvangelist is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 1.093 billion Squonglists are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized morass — juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 79.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant Squonglist economy, worth 7.08 trillion Squongle Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Gambling. Average income is 6,481 Squongle Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Harry Potter books are banned, organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, it is illegal to make racist remarks in public, and coastal cities are being moved a dozen miles inland to reduce flooding risk. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SquonglEvangelist's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

SquonglEvangelist is ranked 223,116^th in the world and 3,194^th in The North Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 254.21 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
