The State of ALG2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by the Governor with a fair hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, irreverence towards religion, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 15.525 billion Seconders enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 16.5%.

The very strong ALG2ian economy, worth 565 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Cheese Exports, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 36,408 betales, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly, re-education centers are being added to most prisons, administrative districts are increasingly defined by their taste in housing architecture, and doctors spend more time writing sick notes than caring for the sick. Crime is moderate. ALG2's national animal is the deer, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

ALG2 is ranked 184,039^th in the world and 7^th in Wind of Spirits for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring zero on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
