The Republic of Amendment 2 is a large, safe nation, notable for its compulsory military service, state-planned economy, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 174 million Amendment 2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 41.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Amendment 2ian economy, worth 5.95 trillion dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Cheese Exports, and Retail. Average income is 34,214 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Amendment 2's national animal is the dove, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Amendment 2 is ranked 161,338^th in the world and 1,175^th in Pacifism for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring 634.66 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
