The Republic of Bobblenoggin is a huge, socially progressive nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 212 million enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.
The government -- a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked, liberal morass -- devotes most of its attentions to Education, with areas such as Religion & Spirituality and Law & Order receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 42%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Information Technology, Pizza Delivery, and Trout Farming industries.
Roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews, elevator music has been replaced by thrash metal played at maximum volume, bizarre-looking creatures called 'springdogs' dominate wildlife preserves, and mobile phone masts are being erected all over the country. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is pervasive, probably because of the country's utter lack of prisons. Bobblenoggin's national animal is the spring, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the toupee.
