The Kingdom of Common2 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Francisco with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, parental licensing program, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 12.255 billion Common2ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The enormous, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of San Salvador. The average income tax rate is 88.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Common2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,681 trillion deniers a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 137,171 deniers, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, commercial jingles have been ham-handedly forced into world renowned symphonies, scientists take credit every time it rains in Common Storage, and citizens often pray for divine guidance in supermarkets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Common2's national animal is the tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Roman Catholic.

Common2 is ranked 62,303rd in the world and 6th in Common Storage for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 3,452.35 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
