The Nomadic Ghost of L2 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-working, cynical population of 36.385 billion L2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.
The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 40.1%.
The frighteningly efficient L2ian economy, worth a remarkable 3,792 trillion winds a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,228 winds, with the richest citizens earning 6.3 times as much as the poorest.
Passwords to nuclear codes must now contain upper and lower case characters, the government is hoping that medical aid will speak louder than human rights abuses, Leader's peyote-induced "let's all just be friends" speech is trending world-wide, and little children cry as their rainbow drawings are seized by the Straight-Thought Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. L2's national animal is the goldfish, which can occasionally be seen avoiding garbage in the nation's murky oceans.
L2 is ranked 277,700th in the world and 31st in The United Islands of the Atlantic for Safest, scoring 5.98 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
