The Democratic Republic of Dredlock Bob is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Calico Jack Rackham with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, irreverence towards religion, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 8.451 billion Bobians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The tiny government is dominated by the Department of Defense, with Industry, Social Policy, and Education also on the agenda, while International Aid and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Nassau. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 7.0%.

The powerhouse Dredlock Bobian economy, worth 668 trillion Gold Bullions a year, is led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Tourism. Average income is 79,045 Gold Bullions, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 325,760 per year while the poor average 12,628, a ratio of 25.8 to 1.

Calico Jack Rackham has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, unruly families are deliberately marooned on desert islands, what citizens give with one hand they take away with the other, and Calypso has been named as Dredlock Bob's national religion. Crime is pervasive, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Dredlock Bob's national animal is the Scurvy Mutts, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Calypso.

Dredlock Bob is ranked 288,033^rd in the world and 2^nd in The Gulf of Mexico for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -12.2 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
