The Precious Taters of Hobbitat is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Toeless Bob with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 43.512 billion Hobbitots are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

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 21,487 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 493,839 hairy toes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Politicians "baring all" for the camera isn't always a figure of speech, even doll houses and dog kennels have to be able to withstand rigorous earthquake testing, code enforcement officers circle wealthy Hobbitots like vultures, and psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Toeless Bob to meetings with foreign heads of state. 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 700^th in the world and 3^rd in Antarctica for Lowest Crime Rates, with 182.16 law-abiding acts per hour.
