The Eternal Misfortune of Pencil Sharpeners 2 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Panda Protector with an iron fist, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, deadly medical pandemics, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 19.036 billion Pencil Sharpeners Twice 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 frighteningly efficient Pencil Sharpeners Twice economy, worth an astonishing 23,121 trillion Pencil shavings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal.
