The Blind Nomads of Squints In The Sun is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Sunny Day with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, lack of airports, and daily referendums. The hard-working population of 22.607 billion Squinters 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 tiny government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.4%.

The thriving Squints In The Sunian economy, worth a remarkable 1,827 trillion shades a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 80,824 shades, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 233,738 per year while the poor average 22,160, a ratio of 10.5 to 1.

Heavy industry must go to expensive lengths to dispose of waste, diplomacy is a foreign concept to Squinters, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to the Tranquility of Yellow en masse. Crime is moderate. Squints In The Sun's national animal is the camel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is sun worship.

Squints In The Sun is ranked 51,957^th in the world and 5^th in Seven To Many for Highest Drug Use, scoring 272.75 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
