The Empire of The Free Bobilandia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Vitaminb III of Bobilandia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.74 billion Free Bobilandians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bobilandia City. The average income tax rate is 46.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Free Bobilandian economy, worth 931 trillion Rubinas 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, Woodchip Exports, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 196,569 Rubinas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The wearing and manufacture of fur apparel is banned, cities in The Free Bobilandia declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings, adult magazines are having a sales resurgence as internet anonymity disappears, and children can sing 'We Are the Champions' but can't spell it. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free Bobilandia's national animal is the Eagle, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Bobinism.

The Free Bobilandia is ranked 54,688th in the world and 1st in Island of Bobinas United for Most Stationary, with 803.9356660364 days.
