The United Socialist States of Bobismh is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Marx Engels with a fair hand, and remarkable for its state-planned economy, absence of drug laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.025 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 large, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Elephant Marx Metropolitan Utopia. The average income tax rate is 78.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Bobismhian economy, worth 97.7 trillion Nomes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 95,305 Nomes, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, glamping Bobismhians won't sleep in a tent that doesn't include a Jacuzzi, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and students are wary of colorfully decorated new teachers with names like Professor Pipsqueak. 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 156,552^nd in the world and 377^th in The Communist Bloc for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 572.08 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
