The Republic of SmallBoy45 is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 4.06 billion SmallBoy45ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34.5%.

The strong SmallBoy45ian economy, worth 227 trillion Cards a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Average income is 55,831 Cards, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

The government is deliberately installing bloatware onto computers, programmers often reinvent the wheel, students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, and crowds of flag-burning protesters tend to accidentally become crowds of burning protesters. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmallBoy45's national animal is the Tuchoim, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SmallBoy45 is ranked 158,930^th in the world and 118^th in Small Boy Brigade for Highest Poor Incomes, with 23,575.43 Standard Monetary Units.
