The World Assembly of Squareworld is a massive, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.356 billion Squareworldians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Welfare, and Education. The average income tax rate is 9.0%.

The Squareworldian economy, worth 67.3 trillion dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Basket Weaving, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 49,628 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Business owners return from long vacations to find their factories have been turned into homeless shelters, Squareworld recently decided against having a capital city, citizens are regularly found digging for treasure in their gardens, and works of historical fiction contain a surprising lack of historical figures. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Squareworld's national animal is the square, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Squareworld is ranked 162,192^nd in the world and 6^th in Squareworld for Fattest Citizens, with 9.82 Obesity Rate.
