The State of Two Letter is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, suspicion of poets, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 16.631 billion Two Lettermen live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Westminster. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 5.3%.

The Two Letterian economy, worth 745 trillion betales a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Pizza Delivery, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is 44,817 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 304,702 per year while the poor average 2,408, a ratio of 126 to 1.

The Governor has just been declared ruler of Two Letter in an international press conference, the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, the minority party is vilified for everything from fires to earthquakes, and military parades quietly tiptoe their way through the streets. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Two Letter's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Two Letter is ranked 281,488^th in the world and 8^th in Two Letter for Most Subsidized Industry, scoring -5.48 on the Gilded Widget Scale.
