The Second of Select One is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Not Two with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 10.452 billion Wuns are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
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 Acceptance. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.2%.
The frighteningly efficient Wunish economy, worth a remarkable 1,825 trillion Seeds a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 174,696 Seeds, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 519,429 per year while the poor average 46,064, a ratio of 11.3 to 1.
Street crime is on the rise as police officers spend most of their time in prisons, the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance, a violent scene on television results in mass mobilization of the National Guard, and the nation has an international reputation for compassion.
