The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and notable for its daily referendums, hatred of cheese, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.391 billion Smilers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avengers Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Smiley economy, worth a remarkable 8,934 trillion pikas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 259,791 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, it's considered a valid legal defence to say "a demon made me do it", knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags, and sales of disinfectant wipes have skyrocketed. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smiley Bob's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a tie.

Smiley Bob is ranked 137^th in the world and 1^st in Hollow Point for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 41,526.51 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
