The Unending Corporate Circle of Bobertzimburg is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lord Bobert The 27th with an iron fist, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, parental licensing program, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 1.059 billion Bobertzimburgians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of TACO INC. The average income tax rate is 74.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bobertzimburgian economy, worth 171 trillion Heads a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 161,748 Heads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The government is encouraging violence on television, mining safety laws are often more expensive than what's being mined, almost all of the nation's water is piped into the country from abroad for exorbitant prices, and the military invades any neighboring nation with the gall to criticize its policies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobertzimburg's national animal is the Urechis unicinctus, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Bobertzimburg is ranked 19,419th in the world and 2nd in RealTacoMan Frontier for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 8,165.48 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
