The State of Squau is a gargantuan, pleasant nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion. The hard-working population of 14.933 billion Squauans 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 government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. The average income tax rate is 17.3%.

The strong Squauan economy, worth 706 trillion betales a year, is led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 47,283 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government awards prizes to television shows featuring stereotype-breaking minority roles, 50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, Squau has designated Westminster as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Squau in an international press conference. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squau's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Squau is ranked 159,564^th in the world and 8^th in Cemetery for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 61.64 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
