The Brave New World of EldOradO2 is a titanic, orderly nation, ruled by Cyborg CEO Jack Johnson with an iron fist, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, sprawling nuclear power plants, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 12.839 billion Eldoradonians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Babylon. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 65.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Eldoradonian economy, worth a remarkable 4,842 trillion Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and mostly comprised of black market activity, especially in Information Technology, Retail, Arms Manufacturing, and Soda Sales. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 377,142 Dollars, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,108,235 per year while the poor average 101,113, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

Former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, all footpaths have tollbooths, only the rich can afford the latest medical innovations, and homeowners on prime real estate have been seen dodging giant bulldozers with cartoon characters painted on them. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. EldOradO2's national animal is the lion, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Catholicism.

EldOradO2 is ranked 329,491st in the world and 247th in Squeaky Squeakers for Safest, scoring 3.48 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
