The Federation of Longbottom is a colossal, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-working, democratic population of 7.732 billion Longbottomians 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 large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 51.4%.

The Longbottomian economy, worth 356 trillion pennies a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is 46,048 pennies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

The alarmingly racist TV show 'Bigtopians Say the Darndest Things' is a hit, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, and the nation's official head of religious affairs is an atheist. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Longbottom's national animal is the nilbog, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Longbottom is ranked 141,445^th in the world and 108^th in ainulindale for Most Patriotic, with 10.45 flags saluted per person per day.
