The Humble Dwelling of Bombadil is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tom Bombadil with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate population of 25.009 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 large 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 68.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Bombadilian economy, worth a remarkable 2,588 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 an impressive 103,483 Goldberries, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Crime is on the rise as DNA sampling has been all but outlawed, the Snapgram channel "Embarrassing Baby Tom Bombadil Pics" has made Tom Bombadil's mom a celebrity, X-Files ratings have hit an all-time low, and the law is more interested in punishing crime than preventing it. 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 4,392nd in the world and 3rd in Middle Earth for Most Beautiful Environments, with 2,421.6 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
