The Republic of SmitopBot5 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, frequent executions, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.279 billion SmitopBot5ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.
The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot5ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,872 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, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. 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 279,425 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Churches across the land are hurriedly installing auto-tune for their choirs, crop circles are intently studied by investigators with questionable merits, you need two tenors and a coloratura contralto to sing the national anthem properly, and concussed lionball players cannot remember their lineup position. Crime is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. SmitopBot5's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
SmitopBot5 is ranked 979th in the world and 56th in SmitopBots for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring 18,811.97 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
