The Highland Clan Confederation of Bobbouis is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Chief Aisling Byrne with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 8.675 billion Bobbouisians are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Brandison. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 18.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bobbouisian economy, worth a remarkable 1,140 trillion Gaels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 131,441 Gaels, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 591,487 per year while the poor average 18,019, a ratio of 32.8 to 1.

Regional governors use national law books as toilet paper, straitjackets are a common religious garb, some are born loving old plays and some have old plays thrust upon them, and Bobbouisian soldiers know how to create single mothers in more ways than one. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Bobbouis's national animal is the Quail, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Bobbouis is ranked 35,828th in the world and 9th in Tarkin for Highest Average Incomes, with 131,441.71 Standard Monetary Units.
