The 2nd of The 3rd is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its burgeoning lion population. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 18.653 billion 3rdians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped 3rdian economy, worth 431 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Gambling, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 23,118 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The 3rd's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The 3rd is ranked 174,171^st in the world and 1^st in Aglurg for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.94 law-abiding acts per hour.
