The Empire of The Pacified Squids is a very large, socially progressive nation, renowned for its burgeoning The Giant Squid population. The democratic population of 131 million Pacified Squidsians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 9.3%.

The sizeable but inefficient Pacified Squidsian economy, worth 5.36 trillion Sand Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 40,942 Sand Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Leader's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success, the government is phasing in welfare programmes to tackle poverty, cricket farmers use magnifying glasses to fit every member of their herd with tiny tracking tags, and organ donation is compulsory. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. The Pacified Squids's national animal is the The Giant Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

The Pacified Squids is ranked 284,906^th in the world and 6^th in Jimothy for Most Patriotic, with 1.51 flags saluted per person per day.
