The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its conspicuous electricity pylons, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 39.488 billion Smilers are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal, outspoken morass — juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avengers Tower. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Smiley economy, worth an astonishing 12,490 trillion pikas a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 316,309 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Snooze factory is now prison lingo for rehabilitation center, children are raised bilingual from an early age, armed security details escort librarians to their homes, and the new Dragon Supremacy Party is faring well in the polls. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Smiley Bob's national animal is the dragon, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is a tie.

Smiley Bob is ranked 308,509^th in the world and 20^th in Hollow Point for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -93.31 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
