The Republic of SmitopBot8 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its deadly medical pandemics, fear of technology, and hatred of cheese. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.784 billion SmitopBot8ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 96.1%.

The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot8ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,127 trillion rupees 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, quite specialized black market in Uranium Mining, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. 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 265,402 rupees, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, even immigrants complain that immigrants keep taking their jobs, everybody's got wood thanks to Leader, and no one is quite sure what many government officials look like. Crime is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. SmitopBot8's national animal is the giraffe, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SmitopBot8 is ranked 126,184^th in the world and 92^nd in SmitopBots for Most Conservative, scoring 63.92 on the Bush-Santorum Dawning Terror Index.
