The Mr Tambourine Man of Sir Bob Dylan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 29.077 billion Sir Bob Dylanians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Social Policy. The average income tax rate is 71.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Sir Bob Dylanian economy, worth 846 trillion Guitar Picks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Furniture Restoration, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,099 Guitar Picks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Postmen have been arrested in job lots for selling junk mail as home insulation, the police have been reduced to using duct tape instead of handcuffs following further cutbacks, education and welfare spending are on the rise, and graffiti graces every city's streets. Crime is almost non-existent. Sir Bob Dylan's national animal is the Siamese cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Musicism.

Sir Bob Dylan is ranked 269,762nd in the world and 33rd in Hippy Haven for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -9.27 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
