The Republic of Natalonia 2 is a massive, orderly nation, ruled by Jim Pickens with an iron fist, and renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, compulsory vegetarianism, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 3.098 billion Natalonia 2ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of MOOB. The average income tax rate is 90.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Natalonia 2ian economy, worth 692 trillion euros a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 223,636 euros, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Putting a mustache on a banknote is considered defacing a national monument, citizens living in underground cities have developed a healthy green glow, artists from across the nation compete to renovate the restrooms of old government buildings, and volunteers are signing up to take arms against an incursion of flesh-eating zombies (Natalonia 2 has found 1 easter egg). Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Natalonia 2's national animal is the capibara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Jim's cult.

Natalonia 2 is ranked 333,470th in the world and 15,841st in Balder for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring -11.35 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
