The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, aversion to nipples, and daily referendums. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 34.43 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.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, outspoken government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Environment, Education, and Healthcare. 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 a remarkable 8,958 trillion pikas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is extremely specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is an amazing 260,208 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The people elect the Supreme Court justices directly, census workers struggle to account for the rapidly increasing number of citizens to tabulate, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and onions have been banned due to their tendency to cause eye irritation. 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 31st in the world and 1st in Hollow Point for Highest Food Quality, scoring 732.6 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
