The Republic of Daniel2 is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, public floggings, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.234 billion Daniel2ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 69.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Daniel2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,576 trillion shekels a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 170,682 shekels, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's youth would rather watch paint dry than the news, people who stay late at the office often come home to find their own funeral being planned, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, and talking during class is a gateway to lifelong drug addiction. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Daniel2's national animal is the hawk, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Daniel2 is ranked 16,128^th in the world and 38^th in New Bilderberg Group for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 9,904.91 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
