The Second North Poland Oblast of NPO2 is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Johnathan Hawthorn with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, ritual sacrifices, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.955 billion NPO2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imriek City. The average income tax rate is 28.7%.

The frighteningly efficient NPO2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,837 trillion Imrieks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 184,536 Imrieks, with the richest citizens earning 5.0 times as much as the poorest.

Students can name the chiefs of proto-Bigtopian tribes before they can count to ten, subsistence farmers require doctorates in applied sowing, public spending advocates dread when the government says they're here to help, and rogue nations are placing suspiciously large bulk orders for student laptops. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NPO2's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

NPO2 is ranked 152,788^th in the world and 624^th in Europe for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 925.37 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
