The Republic of Goonner 2 is a massive, efficient nation, notable for its triple-decker prams, public floggings, and feral children. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.169 billion Goonner 2ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.3%.

The all-consuming Goonner 2ian economy, worth 237 trillion Gones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Gambling, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 109,664 Gones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 629,204 per year while the poor average 9,202, a ratio of 68.4 to 1.

Military minds worry that 'the blue screen of death' on brand new operating systems may be a literal description, appendix transplant figures have recently doubled, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, and bread-gangs raid restaurant waste bins to stockpile uneaten rolls. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Goonner 2's national animal is the Deprassable, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goonner 2 is ranked 17,911^th in the world and 995^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 5,245.94 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
