The Pipes of Laz 2 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Paul Pipe with an iron fist, and renowned for its parental licensing program, avant-garde cinema, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 21.284 billion Lazians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The large, corrupt, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Law & Order, and Public Transport also on the agenda, while Welfare receives no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Laz Pipe. The average income tax rate is 72.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Laz 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,616 trillion Dollars a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 122,934 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Fraternities are notorious for drunken hooliganism, urban high-volume mailers now receive their mail via chauffeur-driven limousines, acrimonious legal battles result during divorce proceedings, and citizens are forced to donate blood once every three months. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Laz 2's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pipism.

Laz 2 is ranked 16,042nd in the world and 1st in The Triad for Most Stationary, with 1,752.25885772028 days.
