The Always Answer 2 of Answer 2 is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Di-Anna Twosome Binary The Second with an iron fist, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, infamous sell-swords, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 7.755 billion Answer 2ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bicity. The average income tax rate is 74.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Answer 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,055 trillion Twoes a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Retail, Information Technology, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 136,089 Twoes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation's diplomats shake hands with those whose hands are drenched in the blood of innocents, the military recognizes no difference between male and female soldiers, the well-to-do in Testregionia are never on time for important appointments, and running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Answer 2's national animal is the Binary, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Dual Messianic Monotheism.

Answer 2 is ranked 55,002nd in the world and 14th in Testregionia for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,816.75 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
