The Commonwealth of Bobadyk is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Sotha Sil with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, parental licensing program, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.208 billion Bobadykians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bodabykinn I. The average income tax rate is 68.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bobadykian economy, worth 552 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 172,294 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists avoid using the nation's bugged phones and monitored internet, the Great Pyramid of Bodabykinn I can be seen from miles away, employers are never quite sure if graduates' qualifications have any merit or meaning, and what goes down must come up. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobadyk's national animal is the Tiger, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Bobadyk is ranked 190,208^th in the world and 3,301^st in The East Pacific for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -1.41 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
