The Empire of Square Memel is a colossal, socially progressive nation, renowned for its national health service, daily referendums, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.622 billion Square Memelians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 22.1%.

The very strong Square Memelian economy, worth 216 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 59,804 Ducats, with the richest citizens earning 5.6 times as much as the poorest.

Schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more, political speeches always take place at sunset to a background of patriotic power ballads, cosmopolitan citizens ask what their countries can do for them, and a broken arm or leg no longer costs an arm and a leg. Crime is well under control. Square Memel's national animal is the Square.

Square Memel is ranked 4,372^nd in the world and 4^th in Swabia for Highest Drug Use, scoring 371.95 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
