The Republic of Squiddia is a small, safe nation, renowned for its irreverence towards religion and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 23 million Squiddians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 33.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Squiddian economy, worth 1.04 trillion Berry coins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Information Technology, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,201 Berry coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Elderly citizens regularly buy posh multimillion-Berry coins mansions, they say that Squiddians made a dessert and called it peace, it is technically inaccurate to call the dead 'worm food', and drills and shovels have been banned as the government cracks down on any means of fracking. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squiddia's national animal is the every animal, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Squiddia is ranked 20,122^nd in the world and 337^th in The East Pacific for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 6,505.18 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
