The Dominion of Debian 2 is a colossal, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 7.77 billion Debian 2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 47.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Debian 2ian economy, worth 246 trillion packages 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 black market in Gambling, Tourism, Furniture Restoration, and Trout Farming. 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 31,738 packages, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

People make a career out of medical voyeurism, solid-gold toilets are Debian 2ian prisons' least expensive furnishings, running away is an essential part of the elite forces' hand-to-hand training, and women mime their gynaecological symptoms with hand-puppets. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Debian 2's national animal is the Hamm.

Debian 2 is ranked 141,112^th in the world and 88^th in Bytes for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 1,912.66 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
