The Watery Wrath of Invading Squirtle is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its parental licensing program, zero percent divorce rate, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.161 billion Invading Squirtleans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Education, and Defense also on the agenda, while Welfare and International Aid are ignored. The average income tax rate is 10.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Invading Squirtlean economy, worth 653 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Book Publishing, Arms Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 64,357 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Park rangers perform full-body searches on suspected fungus smugglers, the nation's countrysides are littered with landmines due to ongoing family disputes, ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools, and the government makes bereaved siblings into bereaved orphans. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Invading Squirtle's national animal is the beaver, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Invading Squirtle is ranked 66,312th in the world and 1st in The Pokemon Region for Highest Drug Use, scoring 244.14 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
