The Republic of Klop2 is a large, safe nation, notable for its frequent executions and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 121 million Klop2ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Welfare, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 34.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Klop2ian economy, worth 5.06 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,820 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them, news headlines suggest that Leader has a sideline in guinea pig pimping, legal contracts aren't worth the paper they're written on, and cub scouts are being asked to hand in their woggles as the state withdraws funding for scouting. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Klop2's national animal is the cobra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Klop2 is ranked 143,248^th in the world and 4^th in Union of Exotic Artwork Collectors for Highest Poor Incomes, with 24,343.34 Standard Monetary Units.
