The Republic of SmitopBot55 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 11.881 billion SmitopBot55ians 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, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 97.9%.
The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot55ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,731 trillion guilders a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Uranium Mining, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 314,062 guilders, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.
Thrift shops are closing their doors, cloning has been banned, jabbing a baby's bottle at officials gets parents waved straight through immigration, and advertisers are struggling to make water sound cool to a twitchy public. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot55's national animal is the crocodile, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
SmitopBot55 is ranked 345,237th in the world and 32nd in SmitopBots for Smartest Citizens, with 0.29 quips per hour.
