The Republican imperial state of Bob bobberson is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Grima with an even hand, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 2.581 billion bobbersonians 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 Law & Order, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The bobbersonian city of wisdom. The average income tax rate is 63.5%.

The all-consuming bobbersonian economy, worth 281 trillion Geodes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 108,952 Geodes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Tea and biscuits have replaced waterboarding and sleep deprivation as the primary tools of interrogation, spontaneous nocturnal decapitation is considered 'death by natural causes' for enemies of Bob bobberson, for 25 Geodes tourists can gawk at the site of national tragedy, and passive-aggressive congratulations cards inform mums-to-be that their pregnancy is their greatest achievement in life. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bob bobberson's national animal is the Water bear, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is christianity.
