The Withering State of the of Union of the Squids is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by Verenkov Ivanovich Vyacheslavochich with a fair hand, and renowned for its prohibition of alcohol, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 7.056 billion Krakens love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them.

The strong Squidsian economy, worth 489 trillion Silver Sickles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports and Information Technology. Average income is 69,336 Silver Sickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Union of the Squids's national animal is the Squid, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Mutually Assured Destruction.

Union of the Squids is ranked 38,388th in the world and 1st in The Union of Fairer Nations for Most Stationary, with 1,187.32696233248 days.
