The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its smutty television, aversion to nipples, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.384 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 8,931 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 259,761 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Families are left homeless as entire suburbs are bulldozed on the whim of tribal chiefs, interest in globalism never flags, it's considered a valid legal defence to say "a demon made me do it", and knitters are arrested for carrying needles in their bags. 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 27,559th in the world and 4th in Hollow Point for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 7,304.44 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
