The Empire of The Free Bobilandia is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Vitaminb III of Bobilandia with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.988 billion Free Bobilandians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bobilandia City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 47.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Free Bobilandian economy, worth a remarkable 1,013 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 Uranium Mining. 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 amazing 203,229 Rubinas, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 900,401 per year while the poor average 28,647, a ratio of 31.4 to 1.

Brancalandian Brie isn't available anywhere in The Free Bobilandia, many parents are becoming frustrated with their children's choices in spouses, translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, and TFB-SPAN viewership drops as MPs act their age. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Free Bobilandia's national animal is the Eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Bobinism.

The Free Bobilandia is ranked 276,417th in the world and 12th in Island of Bobinas United for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 34.19 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
