The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, strictly enforced bedtime, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 39.465 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 12,471 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 316,026 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Bike rage is all the rage, the nation has an international reputation for compassion, TV coverage of music festivals consists mostly of backstage interviews, and the government funds large training centres to turn dragons into functioning members of society. 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 308,493^rd in the world and 20^th in Hollow Point for Fattest Citizens, with 0.64 Obesity Rate.
