The Squirrels of Tipsie Tree is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Squirrelboi with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and public floggings. The hard-nosed population of 13.097 billion Squirrels are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Public Transport and International Aid receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Squirrelville. The average income tax rate is 21.1%.

The thriving Tipsie Treean economy, worth a remarkable 1,060 trillion Nuts a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 80,985 Nuts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Diplomatic fallout tends to be much more dangerous than radioactive fallout, student athletes gaze forlornly at abandoned Squirrelball fields, the airship business has been driven out of the country by strict regulations and high fines, and immigrants who don't like the taste of Tipsie Treean Turnip Chips are immediately deported. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Tipsie Tree's national animal is the Squirrel, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Squirrelisim.

Tipsie Tree is ranked 271,112^th in the world and 17^th in The Dogeland Alliance for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -10 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
