The State of Et Deux is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 30.758 billion Et Deuxians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The medium-sized, pro-business government prioritizes Industry, although Education, International Aid, and Environment are also considered important. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 19.9%.

The thriving Et Deuxian economy, worth a remarkable 1,457 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Basket Weaving, and Retail. Average income is 47,389 betales, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 322,189 per year while the poor average 2,546, a ratio of 126 to 1.

Voting is voluntary, foreigners are treated with great suspicion, surveillance cameras are banned, and Et Deux has designated Capital Heights as its capital city. Crime is a serious problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Et Deux's national animal is the deer.

Et Deux is ranked 265,591^st in the world and 6^th in Western Sahara for Lowest Crime Rates, with 41.2 law-abiding acts per hour.
