The Republic of DN 2 is a huge, cultured nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 848 million DN 2ians are free to succeed or fail in life on their own merits; the successful tend to enjoy an opulent (but moralistic) lifestyle, while the failures can be seen crowding out most jails.

The tiny, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Spirituality, Defense, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.9%.

The very strong DN 2ian economy, worth 64.5 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Furniture Restoration, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is 76,041 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 629,912 per year while the poor average 1,861, a ratio of 338 to 1.

All streets are privately owned toll roads, military spending is on the increase, industrial chicken farmers hear no evil see no evil and cluck no evil, and slavers are real nutters. Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. DN 2's national animal is the porpoise, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

DN 2 is ranked 201,109^th in the world and 8^th in Cubers DN for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
