The Republic of Tou-2 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, devout population of 10.623 billion Tou-2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 41.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Tou-2ian economy, worth 374 trillion baht a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 35,215 baht, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Whales in captivity live in little more than glorified goldfish bowls, small businesses are gobbled up almost daily by corporate giants, Leader sports gold-plated grillz to promote the government's hard money policy, and ethnic minorities are often refused admission to some of the nation's best schools. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tou-2's national animal is the wolf, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Tou-2 is ranked 38,149^th in the world and 1^st in Dijon for Nicest Citizens, with 18.66 average smiles per day.
