The Baby Band of Muppet Bobby Benson is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by ambition with an iron fist, and notable for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ban on automobiles, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.883 billion band leaders 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 large, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Healthcare, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Muppet Theatre. The average income tax rate is 50.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The a band leader economy, worth 546 trillion cigarettes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Door-to-door Insurance Sales industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 42,392 cigarettes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Shops were recently ransacked as cigarettes returned to the shelves, family trees become bare as entire branches are lopped off, what's in your genes matters more than what's in your jeans, and wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Muppet Bobby Benson's national animal is the baby, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is exploitative.

Muppet Bobby Benson is ranked 233,377th in the world and 39th in The Muppet Show for Highest Average Incomes, with 42,392.76 Standard Monetary Units.
