The Colony of Orange Two is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its teetotalling pirates, deadly medical pandemics, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 4.511 billion Orange Twoans 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 large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 55.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Orange Twoan economy, worth 483 trillion Oranges a year, is mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 107,291 Oranges, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Urban entrepreneurs are busy introducing cockroaches into restaurant kitchens, returning vacationers often find that their property is now a construction site, the tools of the trade for landmine clearance appear to be copious amounts of gasoline and a box of matches, and the Small Council has more than a little influence. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Orange Two's national animal is the Eastern box turtle, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Orange Two is ranked 318,655^th in the world and 316^th in Bingos Puppet Sanctuary for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -114.63 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
