The Humble Dwelling of Bombadil is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tom Bombadil with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, ban on automobiles, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The compassionate, hard-working population of 26.761 billion Bombadilians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Withywindle. The average income tax rate is 35.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bombadilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,449 trillion Goldberries a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 91,542 Goldberries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Volunteers trip over themselves to get into the latest mind-bending drug trials, Tom Bombadil steals from the rich and gives to the needy, social care for the elderly consists of a self help leaflet and a kick on the backside, and primetime re-runs of The Black and White Minstrel Show are a critical hit. Crime is totally unknown. Bombadil's national animal is the Barrowwight, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is The Divine Worship of Mashed Potatoes.

Bombadil is ranked 89,564th in the world and 76th in Middle Earth for Most Stationary, with 506.73858540932 days.
