The Economic Powerhouse of Bobsylvania is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by President Bob with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, pith helmet sales, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, democratic, cheerful population of 12.895 billion Bobsylvanians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The minute government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Spirituality and Welfare receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bobsville. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Bobsylvanian economy, worth a remarkable 3,292 trillion Bobcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 255,353 Bobcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Ministers browse Alright! magazine for fashion tips, contestants on Bobsylvania's Got Talent are screened by the government to make sure that they actually have talent, the Grinder at Fat Sal's Deli and Recycling Center is a national institution, and fishermen take out second mortgages to afford the yearly fishing permit. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Bobsylvania's national animal is the Wild Bobbin, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Bobism.

Bobsylvania is ranked 179,162nd in the world and 630th in 10000 Islands for Safest, scoring 54.92 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
