The Double Nation of 2X is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, flagrant waste-dumping, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 25.551 billion 2Xians enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, liberal, pro-business government, or what there is of one, is solely concerned with Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Scylla and Charybdis. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient 2Xian economy, worth a remarkable 4,364 trillion twoes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Soda Sales, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 170,822 twoes, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,476,491 per year while the poor average 3,229, a ratio of 457 to 1.

Disgruntled jocks are forced to play tetris for entertainment, parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are given a short jail sentence, prominent cultural symbols are featured on the backs of cereal boxes, and mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. 2X's national animal is the two chickens, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

2X is ranked 233,673rd in the world and 7,037th in Osiris for Most Stationary, with 23.18392960672 days.
