The Incorporated States of 2197 is a large, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its zero percent divorce rate, compulsory military service, and otherworldly petting zoo. The compassionate, democratic population of 174 million two-thousand-one-hundred-ninety-sevenians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped two-thousand-one-hundred-ninety-sevenian economy, worth 5.28 trillion cubes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Trout Farming, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 30,327 cubes, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The newest East Lebatuckese coins have "long live East Lebatuck" on heads and "death to 2197" on tails, the nation operates a "finders-keepers" policy with other nations' citizens, two-thousand-one-hundred-ninety-sevenians firmly believe that their heroes never farted or popped their pimples, and cases of disease among the civilian population dwindle as civilian population dwindles. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 2197's national animal is the salt, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

2197 is ranked 217,507^th in the world and 124^th in Hell for Fattest Citizens, with 8.86 Obesity Rate.
