The Empire of Bobber land is a huge, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, smutty television, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 572 million Bobber landians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bobdon. The average income tax rate is 44.5%.

The thriving Bobber landian economy, worth 45.0 trillion pounds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,671 pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Builders across Bobber land are blocked up with orders for new public loos, good-looking doctors are obliged by law to give foot rubs to Leader, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and the most common psychiatric diagnosis is to 'stop whining and grow up'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobber land's national animal is the penguin, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Bobber land is ranked 202,940^th in the world and 292^nd in United Kingdom for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring -3.16 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
