The Republic of SmitopBot46 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its closed borders, disturbing lack of elderly people, and vat-grown people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.838 billion SmitopBot46ians 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 enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. The average income tax rate is 98.2%.

The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot46ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,772 trillion kronor a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 318,674 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Fortified nursing homes are wracked with daily skirmishes, drugs containing the compound "oleum de serpens" are being sold to cancer patients, the government seizes corporate assets it deems 'scary enough', and foreign envoys that want to visit SmitopBot46 now have to navigate real minefields in addition to the political ones. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot46's national animal is the elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SmitopBot46 is ranked 87,554th in the world and 73rd in SmitopBots for Most Conservative, scoring 70.5 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
