The Outer Spacenation of McClandia Doge 2 is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Abell Kappa with an even hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, triple-decker prams, and public floggings. The compassionate population of 3.863 billion Astroneers 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 Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abell 85. The average income tax rate is 67.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Astroneer economy, worth 404 trillion Starfirms a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 104,678 Starfirms, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Extreme hiring regulations mean a job in McClandia Doge 2 is often a lifetime appointment, Occam's razor has sliced to pieces any childhood belief in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, home renovation shows are increasingly popular, and Abell Kappa is strangely popular with male politicians' wives. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. McClandia Doge 2's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Exploritism.

McClandia Doge 2 is ranked 253,859^th in the world and 250^th in Forest for Most Patriotic, with 0.95 flags saluted per person per day.
