The Socialist Republic of Peaceplaice II is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Ferdinand Battenberg of the Peaceplaices with a fair hand, and renowned for its smutty television, state-planned economy, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, democratic population of 1.105 billion Peaceplaicers love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The relatively small government prioritizes Education, although Welfare, Defense, and Healthcare are also considered important, while International Aid and Spirituality receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Doveingham. The average income tax rate is 18.9%.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Peaceplaician economy, worth 38.0 trillion Euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, Furniture Restoration, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 34,366 Euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Only AIs know why the nation is rapidly increasing its semiconductor stockpile, toy versions of heroin paraphernalia let kids pretend to be their favourite TV characters, for some reason the census focuses on daily banana ingestion and hourly quip rate, and citizens applying for their first jobs face fierce competition from the homeless. Crime is totally unknown. Peaceplaice II's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Orthodox Christianity.

Peaceplaice II is ranked 304,899^th in the world and 1^st in The Peaceplaician Hotel for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 768.8 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
