The United Nations of The Bikini Bottom Republic is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Larry T Lobster with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 4.663 billion Bikinese enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikini Bottom. The average income tax rate is 91.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bikinese economy, worth 723 trillion Bikinese Pounds a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. Average income is an impressive 155,071 Bikinese Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Bikini Bottom has restaurants serving every meat from aardvark to zebra, doctors who mutter "Oh my God" often lose their medical license, parking lots are littered with coffee cups and doughnut crumbs, and a firework a day does not in fact keep the doctor away. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Bikini Bottom Republic's national animal is the Jellyfish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans, and its national religion is Bikinese Catholicism.

The Bikini Bottom Republic is ranked 241,056^th in the world and 10,539^th in The North Pacific for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring -14 on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
