The Bad Bad Hats of A Bout is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its rum-swilling pirates, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed population of 6.681 billion Boutians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 66.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Boutian economy, worth 829 trillion bad bad hats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 124,219 bad bad hats, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Taxpayers cringe whenever someone brings up the Former Antagonist Reparations Treaty, sheepish teenagers are making eye contact with their parents for the first time in a decade during state-enforced 'no-phones hour', Leader's exquisite office door is replaced monthly due to angry petitioners, and the military is slashing spending on conventional arms and diverting it to spending on prosthetic arms. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. A Bout's national animal is the hat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

A Bout is ranked 199,631st in the world and 57th in Stereo Hearts for Most Stationary, with 47.8926429598 days.
