The Dystopian Dominion of Discoveria II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its complete lack of prisons, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 19.375 billion Discoverians are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The relatively small, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 14.0%.

The powerhouse Discoveria IIian economy, worth a remarkable 1,305 trillion discs a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Book Publishing, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Average income is 67,373 discs, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 260,160 per year while the poor average 11,983, a ratio of 21.7 to 1.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest growing field, government officials frequently cut taxes as a distraction from antics with their secretaries, Discoveria II has designated Discoveria II City as its capital city, and the government is spending millions on renovating the public transportation system. Crime, especially youth-related, is a problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. Discoveria II's national animal is the lanternfish, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Discoveria II is ranked 258,069^th in the world and 66^th in Nudist Dreamland for Lowest Crime Rates, with 47.35 law-abiding acts per hour.
