The Republic of Bigboy557 is a huge, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, zero percent divorce rate, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 303 million Bigboy557ians 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 23.4%.

The Bigboy557ian economy, worth 15.9 trillion pixie dusts a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Gambling, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 52,312 pixie dusts, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

Scientific journals publish third-graders' school essays, politicians are forced to wear portable lie detectors at all times, arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, and Bigboy557 has designated Bigboy557 City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Bigboy557's national animal is the squid, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

Bigboy557 is ranked 134,607th in the world and 849th in Big Boy Brigade for Most Corrupt Governments, with 5.12 kickbacks per hour.
