The Inter-Universal Colony of Cormorant Drone 2 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by O'hare with an even hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion. The quiet, industrious population of 10.517 billion Cormorant Filipinos are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Thneedville. The average income tax rate is 24.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Cormorant Philippine economy, worth 393 trillion Philippine Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 37,447 Philippine Pesos, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation grinds to a halt for afternoon tea, the latest Harry Potter book is a bestseller, Cormorant Drone 2 has designated Thneedville as its capital city, and O'hare has just been declared ruler of Cormorant Drone 2 in an international press conference. Crime is totally unknown. Cormorant Drone 2's national animal is the Philippine Cobra.

Cormorant Drone 2 is ranked 89,198^th in the world and 1^st in Sopian Empire for Nicest Citizens, with 14.16 average smiles per day.
