The Republic of Bobsmith is a huge, safe nation, remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 475 million Bobsmithians 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 medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 38.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Bobsmithian economy, worth 29.5 trillion Bobens a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 62,108 Bobens, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, scenic mountain valleys are flooded with water as damming projects get underway, people who get diabetes can sue donut manufacturers, and Bobsmith has designated Bobsmith City as its capital city. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobsmith's national animal is the Bibu, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
