The State of Hispaniola2 is a mammoth, safe nation, ruled by Juan-Carlos Santana with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 5.415 billion Hispaniolans 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 medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Puerto Angeles. The average income tax rate is 75.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Hispaniolian economy, worth 753 trillion Hispaniolan Pesos a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 139,115 Hispaniolan Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Saying the word 'eggplant' is now a criminal offense, government-run screening operations remove embryos with severe genetic disorders, the nation's poor can be seen scavenging trash bins for used coffee grounds, and foreign casinos have trouble paying fans who bet on the triumph of the Puerto Angeles Hispaniolan Eagles against long odds. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Hispaniola2's national animal is the Hispaniolan Eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Church of Alessia.

Hispaniola2 is ranked 168,049^th in the world and 6,616^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 343.81 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
