The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and notable for its national health service, daily referendums, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 35.653 billion Smilers 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avengers Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Smiley economy, worth a remarkable 9,801 trillion pikas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 274,900 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People across the world seek to be healthier by eliminating carbs, snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, the most penniless demographics have by far the highest number of researchers per capita, and visual acuity is worsening amongst teenagers. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smiley Bob's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a tie.

Smiley Bob is ranked 315,996th in the world and 18th in Hollow Point for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring -73.09 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
