The Confederacy of Squornshelan Remnant States is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Prime Minister Elbrus Kamenev with a fair hand, and notable for its irreverence towards religion, hatred of cheese, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 6.077 billion Confederates are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The strong Squornshelan Remnant Statesian economy, worth 263 trillion springs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity.

Children are disappointed to learn that cavemen never had a yabba-dabba-doo time riding dinosaurs to work, the mining industry has taken a hit from tighter environmental regulations, pandemics are over and done with by the time it takes to pass the nation's stringent border security, and the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Squornshelan Remnant States's national animal is the mattress, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
