The Calamaripublic of Dunsteen is a titanic, safe nation, ruled by Squidward Tentacles with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.546 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikini Bottom. The average income tax rate is 14.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Dunsteenian economy, worth a remarkable 2,496 trillion clarinets a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Book Publishing, and Uranium Mining. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 216,203 clarinets, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

You need a signed affidavit from a registered psychiatrist to claim that you have crazy low prices, government-sponsored WiFi allows farmers to rant about city folks in real time, "Idol-Worship for the Apathetic" workshops are cancelled when no-one bothers to show up, and stony-faced prosecutors play loud gangster rap music during court proceedings. Crime is totally unknown. 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 6,021^st in the world and 2^nd in MJT for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 517.39 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
