The Dominion of ThunderPuppetEmpires2 is a huge, orderly nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, parental licensing program, and daily referendums. The cynical population of 725 million ThunderPuppetEmpires2ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 46.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The very strong ThunderPuppetEmpires2ian economy, worth 32.1 trillion dollars a year, is highly specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 44,338 dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Kids looking for shark teeth have become ancient history, the government believes there is no problem that raising taxes won't fix, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. ThunderPuppetEmpires2's national animal is the fox, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

ThunderPuppetEmpires2 is ranked 209,631^st in the world and 1,100^th in Puppetstorm for Greatest Rich-Poor Divides, with 2.75 Rich To Poor Income Ratio.
