The Join Communications of Bobberino is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Join Communications with an iron fist, and renowned for its flagrant waste-dumping, zero percent divorce rate, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 13.276 billion Join Communications are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Join Communications. The average income tax rate is 18.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Join Communications economy, worth a remarkable 2,087 trillion Join Communications a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 157,241 Join Communications, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

School lockers are filled with fancy underwear, prime picnicking sites are being paved over in the name of progress, government fact-checkers use surprising amounts of high explosive, and the Counter-Terrorism Unit has been nicknamed "Big Bad Wolf" for its tendency towards urban demolition. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobberino's national animal is the Join Communications, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Bobberino is ranked 279,636th in the world and 5,859th in The North Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -338.38 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
