The Republic of SmitopBot17 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, aversion to nipples, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 10.042 billion SmitopBot17ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The minute, corrupt, moralistic government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.0%.

The very strong SmitopBot17ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,243 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Retail, Uranium Mining, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 123,792 pesos, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 608,947 per year while the poor average 14,370, a ratio of 42.4 to 1.

The studies of art and philosophy are banned, the government spends billions to protect SmitopBot17 from a disaster that is one in a million, lip-readers are often left perplexed by political rallies, and astronomers are flocking to SmitopBot17 to take advantage of its clear night skies. Crime is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. SmitopBot17's national animal is the unicorn, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

SmitopBot17 is ranked 17,903rd in the world and 16th in SmitopBots for Most Stationary, with 1,693.956207534 days.
