The Community of Joe Bobs is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Non Navigator Babbs with a fair hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and public floggings. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 21.103 billion Bobbians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.
The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Edge City. The average income tax rate is 93.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The enormous but inefficient Joe Bobsian economy, worth a remarkable 1,499 trillion bobs a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 71,079 bobs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
There has been a rapid increase of noise complaints over the sound of buzzing bees, those who cut young children are told to cut it out, cyber-crime and tin-foil hat sales are both increasing at record rates, and government bureaucrats shut down teenage yard-raking businesses for being counter-revolutionary. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Joe Bobs's national animal is the gekko, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Joe Bobs is ranked 4,777th in the world and 3rd in Global Right Alliance for Most Cultured, scoring 171 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
