Bikini Bottom (city)



Bikini Bottom, which in its history has gone by the names "Bikini Gulch" (before and after Dead Eye Gulch), "Dead Eye Gulch" and "Bikini Bottomshire," is the main setting in the SpongeBob SquarePants series. The city has a proper population of about 538, though many episodes tend to portray it to be much larger.

In When the Cold Breeze Blows Away, it's now a city-state, like Singapore, with a parliamentary system, a newly-restored extinct language (similar to an unnamedly gibberish language spoken by SpongeGar, Patar and Squag in a SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Ugh," or "SpongeBob SquarePants: Before Comedy), and complete metrification of the entire city-state, which happened after the Chinese Invasion of Bikini Bottom.
