The Always Answer 2 of Answer 2 is a mammoth, efficient nation, ruled by Di-Anna Twosome Binary The Second with an iron fist, and remarkable for its anti-smoking policies, soft-spoken computers, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.731 billion Answer 2ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bicity. The average income tax rate is 73.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Answer 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,053 trillion Twoes 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 impressive 136,281 Twoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.
The Party has more splits than a yo-yo dieter's trousers, doctors are learning that red tape makes ineffective bandages, tax-payers are funding ever more extravagant movie projects, and military pilots jettison listening devices as chaff to confuse enemy missiles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Answer 2's national animal is the Binary, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dual Messianic Monotheism.
Answer 2 is ranked 9,289th in the world and 5th in Testregionia for Most Cultured, scoring 118 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
