The Commonwealth of Bobadyk is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Sotha Sil with an iron fist, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, compulsory military service, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.222 billion Bobadykians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bodabykinn I. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bobadykian economy, worth 557 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 173,080 Dollars, with the richest citizens earning 9.6 times as much as the poorest.

Employers may fire workers without giving any reason, new mothers can pay for their weekly grocery shop with a bottle of breast milk, airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, and wishing you had children is considered a sign of child abuse. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobadyk's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bobadyk is ranked 15,674th in the world and 209th in The East Pacific for Most Corrupt Governments, with 118.45 kickbacks per hour.
