The Republic of SmitopBot39 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, free-roaming dinosaurs, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 10.271 billion SmitopBot39ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 77.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot39ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,236 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 217,749 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.
Only a minority of the population can actually vote at elections, religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, the public health bureaucracy is wrapped in miles of red tape, and marine biology students are shocked to discover that a whale is a mammal. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot39's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
SmitopBot39 is ranked 2,565th in the world and 79th in SmitopBots for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 14,462.64 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
