The Brave New World of EldOradO2 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Cyborg CEO Jack Johnson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.858 billion Eldoradonians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 66.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Eldoradonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,857 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 377,778 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,100,438 per year while the poor average 102,537, a ratio of 10.7 to 1.

Drug distribution is tightly controlled by the government, fiscal policy hawks decry the sizable "panem et circenses" fund added to the public budget, meetings involving club finances are frequently broken up by men in black suits, and the nation's WA representatives have received a very public sacking after EldOradO2 allowed its WA membership to lapse. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. EldOradO2's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

EldOradO2 is ranked 58,378th in the world and 41st in Squeaky Squeakers for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 66.33 Effective Tax Rate.
