The Republic of SmitopBot82 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its compulsory military service, pith helmet sales, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.732 billion SmitopBot82ians 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 Defense. The average income tax rate is 98.7%.

The frighteningly efficient SmitopBot82ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,029 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. Average income is an amazing 258,244 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Religious bigotry is not allowed but bigotry against theism is encouraged, all guns must be registered, retirees make up the bulk of foreign students, and many believe that the only good dove is a dead dove. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmitopBot82's national animal is the dove, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

SmitopBot82 is ranked 1,489th in the world and 45th in SmitopBots for Largest Black Market, with 4,744 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
