The Republic of SmitopBot105 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its smutty television, pith helmet sales, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.824 billion SmitopBot105ians 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 Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 98.0%.
The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot105ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,596 trillion marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, Retail, and Information Technology. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 304,198 marks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
It is widely believed that the first citizen of SmitopBot105 was called 'Wild-eyed Daddy-O', gun ownership is compulsory, in a baffling press conference Leader proudly dismantled a broken door, and dangerous criminals are often 'accidentally' sent on one-way trips to Maxtopia. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot105's national animal is the penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
SmitopBot105 is ranked 335,638th in the world and 87th in SmitopBots for Most Cultured, scoring -24 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
