The Zero Two of 02 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, flagrant waste-dumping, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 23.014 billion 02ians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient 02ian economy, worth a remarkable 4,414 trillion Golds a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Retail. Average income is an impressive 191,826 Golds, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,756,668 per year while the poor average 2,244, a ratio of 782 to 1.

Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, oil rigs in winter are heated by contained oil slick fires, the nation's nuclear defence policy is to "turn the other cheek", and autocrats are persona non grata. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. 02's national animal is the Elephant, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

02 is ranked 998th in the world and 54th in Osiris for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 14,850.37 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
