The Creeping Existence of Bod is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by King Bod with an even hand, and remarkable for its complete lack of prisons, enforced nudity, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed population of 24.884 billion Bodians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Healthcare, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bodania. The average income tax rate is 65.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Bodian economy, worth 656 trillion Claws a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Pizza Delivery industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,374 Claws, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

All tariffs have been abolished, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, guns are banned, and King Bod has just been declared ruler of Bod in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bod's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Creepism.

Bod is ranked 220,055th in the world and 4th in Dreamworld for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 126.26 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
