The New hero on the scene of Robo Hambot is a titanic, efficient nation, ruled by Parry Gripp with an iron fist, and notable for its enslaved workforce, public floggings, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 13.352 billion Robo Hambotians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Squeektronic wheel. The average income tax rate is 79.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Robo Hambotian economy, worth a remarkable 2,551 trillion robots a year, is quite specialized and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Retail, Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,069 robots, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Diaper-wrapped falafel is a fan-favorite, structures are raised on promises, it is cheaper to die in the wilderness than to survive, and recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Robo Hambot's national animal is the hamster, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is music.

Robo Hambot is ranked 30,860th in the world and 4th in Bytes for Most Developed, scoring 82.63 on the Human Development Index.
