The Republic of SmallBoy98 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed population of 4.098 billion SmallBoy98ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 29.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The SmallBoy98ian economy, worth 224 trillion Tuchoims a year, is led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,634 Tuchoims, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Black tea is only available on the black market, well-off serial killers write monthly checks to avoid jail time, Leader's media campaigns take a hiatus around exam week, and crime is on the rise as online youths compete to vlog the most shocking scenes of violence. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. SmallBoy98's national animal is the Cards, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

SmallBoy98 is ranked 101,661^st in the world and 38^th in Small Boy Brigade for Most Rebellious Youth, scoring zero on the Stark-Dean Displacement Index.
