The United Socialist States of Bobismh is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Marx Engels with a fair hand, and remarkable for its compulsory vegetarianism, ubiquitous missile silos, and anti-smoking policies. The compassionate, democratic population of 2.522 billion Bobismhians 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 enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elephant Marx Metropolitan Utopia. The average income tax rate is 88.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Bobismhian economy, worth 295 trillion Nomes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 117,249 Nomes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The official Bobismhian Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child, betting pennies on games of Go Fish is considered deviant, public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, and people stand their fridges back-to-front to benefit from the free heating. Crime is totally unknown. Bobismh's national animal is the Elephant, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Secularism.

Bobismh is ranked 14,955^th in the world and 387^th in The Communist Bloc for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 6,163.4 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
