The Confederacy of Squornshelan Remnant States is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by President Elbrus Kamenev with a fair hand, and renowned for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.252 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Chalesm. The average income tax rate is 77.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Confederate economy, worth 335 trillion springs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 46,266 springs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

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, the nation's laws on image rights are amongst the strictest in the world, and pre-takeoff checks last longer than the flights themselves. 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.

Squornshelan Remnant States is ranked 166,370^th in the world and 152^nd in Atlantian Oceania for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -2.16 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
