The Woodhouse Sanctum of Alpinist 2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, notable for its pith helmet sales, free-roaming dinosaurs, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, devout population of 21.973 billion Alpinist 2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The large, socially-minded government prioritizes Defense, although Industry, Education, and Administration are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 63.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The powerhouse Alpinist 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,091 trillion $$s a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 95,183 $$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.
Minority children spend hours bussing to schools miles away from home, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", nations that kill an Alpinist 2ian can expect a strongly worded letter, and high-income earners pay a 100% tax rate. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Alpinist 2's national animal is the eagle, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Alpinist 2 is ranked 3,510th in the world and 1st in Ural Mountains for Most Stationary, with 3,677.66431296 days.
