The Hobbit Hole of Mr Hobbit is a titanic, socially progressive nation, notable for its absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 23.409 billion Hobbits 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 Education, Healthcare, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 44.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient a Hobbit economy, worth 823 trillion Potatoes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,180 Potatoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mr Hobbit's national animal is the Fish, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Mr Hobbit is ranked 215,830^th in the world and 1^st in Hobbiton for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring zero on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
