The Precious Taters of Hobbitat is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Toeless Bob with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, otherworldly petting zoo, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 48.851 billion Hobbitots are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The relatively small, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Education, Industry, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nutbush City. The average income tax rate is 16.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hobbitatian economy, worth an astonishing 25,195 trillion hairy toes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is a breathtaking 515,763 hairy toes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Parents seeking custody have to write a five-thousand word analysis of their child's imaginary friend, kids are taught in schools to argue with their parents, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and practising saying 'how now brown cow' is an essential part of holiday planning. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hobbitat's national animal is the lemming, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Hobbitat is ranked 331,173^rd in the world and 38^th in Antarctica for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 8.52 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
