The Republic of SmitopBot98 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, free-roaming dinosaurs, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.271 billion SmitopBot98ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot98ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,051 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 black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. 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 297,065 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

A new generation of aquariumless hotels are being built under government supervision, the Finance Ministry has gone into meltdown upon hearing the price to avoid nuclear disaster, woke teenagers spontaneously burst into tears when thinking about the world's woes, and politicians are often seen with soldiers pointing guns at their heads. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot98's national animal is the cobra, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SmitopBot98 is ranked 290,662^nd in the world and 20^th in SmitopBots for Highest Food Quality, scoring 2.64 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
