The Republic of Squunnandopia is a large, socially progressive nation, notable for its state-planned economy. The democratic population of 191 million Squunnandopians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 48.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Squunnandopian economy, worth 7.78 trillion rupees a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 40,753 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Organ donation rates are among the lowest in the region, surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and citizens complain about a burning sensation after bathing. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squunnandopia's national animal is the giraffe, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Squunnandopia is ranked 225,387^th in the world and 413^th in Starlight for Highest Drug Use, scoring 65.28 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
