The Republic of Mad-2 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and restrictive gun laws. The cynical, devout population of 17.327 billion Mad-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 medium-sized government prioritizes Defense, although Law & Order, Education, and Industry are also considered important, while International Aid receives no funds. The average income tax rate is 33.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Mad-2ian economy, worth 936 trillion $$s a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 54,054 $$s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mad-2ian-made cars tend to catch fire in people's driveways, prisoners have been known to host cooking and home décor television shows, unpackaged foodstuffs rot on store shelves, and the most popular stadium acts are one-off performances. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Mad-2's national animal is the Death's-head hawkmoth, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Mad-2 is ranked 291,050^th in the world and 3^rd in Maui for Highest Drug Use, scoring 23.37 on the Pineapple Fondness Rating.
