The Precious Taters of Hobbitat is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Toeless Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 43.353 billion Hobbitots enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nutbush City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Hobbitatian economy, worth an astonishing 21,376 trillion hairy toes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 493,083 hairy toes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The main interest rates change daily based on the latest news story, guide dogs for the blind have been seen using government websites, conspiracy theorists allege Nutbush City's new subway map resembles Satanic symbols, and garden flower shows rarely smell of roses. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hobbitat's national animal is the lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hobbitat is ranked 711th in the world and 3rd in Antarctica for Lowest Crime Rates, with 181.11 law-abiding acts per hour.
