The Pegasus of Guard 02 is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its burgeoning eagle population. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 26.11 billion Guard 02ians enjoy great social freedoms and frequent elections, where the majority of the populace regularly votes to increase its benefits at the expense of various hapless minorities.

The large, moralistic, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Spirituality. The average income tax rate is 43.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Guard 02ian economy, worth 562 trillion Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 21,530 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Guard 02's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Guard 02 is ranked 255,115^th in the world and 1^st in The Islamic State for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 20 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
