The Always Answer 2 of Answer 2 is a mammoth, orderly nation, ruled by Di-Anna Twosome Binary The Second with an iron fist, and renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, ritual sacrifices, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.388 billion Answer 2ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bicity. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Answer 2ian economy, worth 994 trillion Twoes 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, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 an impressive 134,581 Twoes, with the richest citizens earning 6.0 times as much as the poorest.

The thin blue line is composed of picketing police officers demanding better pensions, a recent political speech drew the ire of nerds everywhere after the speaker claimed that Darth Vader was Harry Potter's father, the army lives rent-free in foreigners' heads and houses, and the police insist that racism does not exist. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Answer 2's national animal is the Binary, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Dual Messianic Monotheism.

Answer 2 is ranked 50,279th in the world and 12th in Testregionia for Highest Food Quality, scoring 39.95 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
