The Emoticons of Smiley Bob is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Danielle with a fair hand, and remarkable for its national health service, strictly enforced bedtime, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 27.481 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 relatively small, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Environment, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Avengers Tower. The average income tax rate is 93.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Smiley economy, worth a remarkable 5,188 trillion pikas a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is mostly comprised of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 188,795 pikas, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The saying 'break a leg' is now taken literally, a favorite "life hack" for gap year backpackers is to pretend to be homeless for government handouts, boys who take just one date to the high school prom are called 'losers', and lifelong celibates are surprised to receive government-issue condoms in the post. Crime is almost non-existent. 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 224^th in the world and 1^st in Hollow Point for Most Valuable International Artwork, with 2,757.81 Bank.
