The State of Bob Peters is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons and smutty television. The hard-working, democratic population of 32.062 billion Bob Petersians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, outspoken government prioritizes Welfare, with Education, Healthcare, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The thriving Bob Petersian economy, worth a remarkable 1,532 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Average income is 47,783 betales, with the richest citizens earning 8.4 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, the government is avowedly atheist, programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, and the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller. Crime, especially youth-related, is moderate, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Bob Peters's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Bob Peters is ranked 20,449^th in the world and 12^th in 0000 for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 8,650 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
