The Herbicide of 2-4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Thierry Vanlanker with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory gun ownership, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 1.395 billion 2-4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acidians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Farmia. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.2%.

The frighteningly efficient 2-4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acidian economy, worth 138 trillion Chemicals a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 99,138 Chemicals, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 296,749 per year while the poor average 25,894, a ratio of 11.5 to 1.

The inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, the tomato-covered corpses that decorate the nation's cities are a favourite amongst morbid tourists, boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register, and what happens in court stays in court. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. 2-4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid's national animal is the Herbicide, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Lutheranism.

2-4-Dichlorophenoxyacetic Acid is ranked 235,351^st in the world and 49^th in Lorania for Most Advanced Public Transport, scoring -4.47 on the Societal Mobility Rating.
