The Republic of SmitopBot53 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.286 billion SmitopBot53ians 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 government prioritizes Administration, with Industry, Defense, and Healthcare also on the agenda, while International Aid is ignored. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.
The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot53ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,155 trillion deniers a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 306,731 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.
The government spends billions to protect SmitopBot53 from a disaster that is one in a million, Eckie-Ecola has declared that their soda poop is The Real Thing, no suburban lawn is complete without barbed wire and landmines, and citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering'. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. SmitopBot53's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
SmitopBot53 is ranked 169,072nd in the world and 66th in SmitopBots for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 66.42 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
