The Republic of Here Be Treasure II is a massive, cultured nation, remarkable for its aversion to nipples, fear of technology, and labour-free parental leave. The hard-nosed, devout population of 2.274 billion Here Be Treasure IIians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 71.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Here Be Treasure IIian economy, worth 270 trillion Treasure Coins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 118,872 Treasure Coins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Human resources employees have time for hobbies as harassment is designated "high praise", flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, foreign heads of state have taken out restraining orders against Here Be Treasure IIian ambassadors, and Red Cross demand for body bags is rising while sutures go unused. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Here Be Treasure II's national animal is the Parrot, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Here Be Treasure II is ranked 58,856^th in the world and 4^th in The Treasure Hunters for Most Developed, scoring 74.78 on the Human Development Index.
