The Confederacy Minecraft of Block-World 2 is a titanic, socially progressive nation, ruled by I Wayan DwiPrama Sate Ayam with a fair hand, and remarkable for its daily referendums, restrictive gun laws, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful, devout population of 11.663 billion Blockworldinian are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Manggissari-Ponorogo. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Blockwordian economy, worth a remarkable 2,792 trillion Coin Gepengs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing and Tourism. Average income is an amazing 239,445 Coin Gepengs, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome, citizens are strongly encouraged to breathe less so as to limit the carbon footprint, sea side cafes are required by law to close during summer, and it is broadly agreed that tramp stamps are criminally undesirable. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Block-World 2's national animal is the Bali Starling, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Hinduisme.

Block-World 2 is ranked 52,277th in the world and 5th in Far East Oriental Federation for Largest Populations, with 11.7 billion capita.
