The State of Squirrely is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, absence of drug laws, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 11.564 billion Squirrelyians live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.8%.

The strong Squirrelyian economy, worth 580 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Uranium Mining, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 50,207 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 323,591 per year while the poor average 3,147, a ratio of 102 to 1.

Surveillance cameras are banned, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, and Squirrely has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Squirrely's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Squirrely is ranked 196,071^st in the world and 6^th in Stornoway for Nicest Citizens, with 10.55 average smiles per day.
