The Republic of Goonner 2 is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 2.141 billion Goonner 2ians are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.4%.

The all-consuming Goonner 2ian economy, worth 232 trillion Gones a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Automobile Manufacturing, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 108,654 Gones, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 616,148 per year while the poor average 9,365, a ratio of 65.8 to 1.

The economy is green and the air is black, foreign students are expected to have a Kegmeister Grade Average of 36-24-36 to qualify for university, a milk bath costs more than bathing in money, and teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force. Goonner 2's national animal is the Deprassable, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Goonner 2 is ranked 237,626^th in the world and 13,346^th in Lazarus for Safest, scoring 38.13 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
