Society of Bobogoobo

The society of Bobogoobo is very diverse, although some aspects are strictly controlled by the government, despite others having no control. Bobogoobo keeps strict control over its citizens' behavior in terms of violence and unproductive behavior, but tries to allow as much freedom as possible.

Behavior and Beliefs
Every citizen of Bobogoobo has only positive traits and contributes productively to the nation. Laws are only in place to guide citizens and are never broken. Any citizen not following this description is executed. The nation of Bobogoobo keeps its borders closed and closely guarded to avoid contamination from other nations. Additionally, many of Bobogoobo's laws could be seen as "radical" by other nations, such as its ban on alcoholic beverages (because they have several negative effects and no positive ones), and various other laws that serve to make Bobogoobo as happy, productive, clean, and advanced as possible.

The population of Bobogoobo is small because Bobogoobo believes that it should minimize its effect on the planet and its environment by limiting the number of people in the nation. Additionally, many people in Bobogoobo believe that life, and indeed all existence, is fundamentally pointless (although each person creates his or her own purpose), and so do not seek to create more life. O'Goobo goes as far as to exile any citizens who do not have characteristics that are beneficial to the nation, thereby limiting the gene pool to more favorable characteristics. That does not preclude sexual activity, however; it was named as one of the citizens' favorite activities in a recent survey.

Bobogoobo believes that everyone has equal rights, so there is no discrimination of any kind of Bobogoobo. Additionally, it is believed that each individual should be allowed to make his or her own decisions, so there are no age-limit laws or other laws limiting freedom.

Bobogoobo's official religion is Sensism.

Crime
The crime rate in Bobogoobo is very low thanks to its harsh policies and good citizens. For violent crimes, punishment follows the principle of "." That is, the punishment that an offender receives is as equal as possible to what he or she inflicted upon his or her victim(s). For each crime, a committee analyzes the precise and complete impact that the crime had on the victim(s), friends and relatives, and community, and recommends a punishment that will inflict onto the criminal the same amount of suffering. When necessary, a specialist is brought in from another nation to carry out the punishment, as no Bobogoobo citizen is knowledgeable in violence of the kind that is sometimes needed.

However, these rules do not apply to anyone who was not born in Bobogoobo, and non-citizens are never executed.

Internet
Access to Bobogoobo's Internet is a privilege, one that is not easy to get. Citizens must take an extensive test and analysis that determine if the citizen is intelligent and would be able to use the Internet responsibly. Bobogoobo's ccTLD is .bb.

Literacy
Bobogoobo prides itself on having a 100% literacy rate. It reached this goal through constant development of technology and by perfecting its school and university systems.

Language
Bobogoobo was founded as a nation that spoke only. However, as the nation grew, many foreign languages came in with the immigrants. The most notable of these is. Of the languages that came in with people, Spanish was the most commonly spoken. It could often be heard spoken among groups of people walking the streets. Because the people of Bobogoobo are naturally curious, some of them began learning the language in private lessons. The immigrants whose first language was Spanish noticed this interest and began teaching large groups of people. After a while, the language was so popular among the citizens that it was offered in most schools around the nation. People continue to learn Spanish because they enjoy speaking the language and being able to communicate in a kind of "secret code," although in present times almost everyone will know what people are saying when they speak in Spanish.

Measurement
Bobogoobo uses standard measurements, but O'Goobo is more accustomed to  and so usually uses those units in his daily life.

Time
Bobogoobo is one hour ahead of Bob Time, but almost always uses Bob Time in official publications such as this one unless otherwise specified. Bobogoobo usually uses the calendar of Old Earth for ease of understanding by other nations, but efforts are currently underway, internally only, to replace Old Earth year references with the Bobogoobo year system. Years within Bobogoobo are referred to using a system of BF and AF - Before Founding and After Founding. This is done because there is a lot of history belonging to O'Goobo and other founders and predecessors of Bobogoobo. The current year in the Bobogoobo Calendar is AF; the year of founding is designated year zero for ease of calculation (see ). Additionally, because the people who developed Earth's calendar obviously had no consideration for people with OCD, and because even the most basic units of time , Bobogoobo adamantly supports the creation of a unit of time that will never change and protests the current system.

Education
The education system of Bobogoobo is designed to allow citizens as much freedom as possible and to account for the fact that teenage years are very confusing times. Citizens start school at the usual age, but can stop school at any time and return when they wish. Typically, this allows people to finish middle school, then go to high school when they are several years older and are no longer changing as radically as they do in teenage years, although a significant portion of kids do not skip any years. However, citizens are not required to go to school. Because of this system, schools usually teach the most important information first.
