The Buffer Zone of Loadfaster II is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Tyrannosaurus Rex with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ritual sacrifices, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 1.324 billion Loadfasterians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Loadfaster Ring. The average income tax rate is 40.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Loadfasterian economy, worth 154 trillion Grandiose Loads a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 116,545 Grandiose Loads, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Former arms manufacturing CEOs are now delivering food for minimum wage, childhood friends of Tyrannosaurus Rex are living it large abroad at the taxpayers' expense, Connectionism has been named as Loadfaster II's national religion, and rumour has it Tyrannosaurus Rex needs a calculator to multiply ten by ten. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Loadfaster II's national animal is the Loadfasterian Pheonix, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Connectionism.

Loadfaster II is ranked 54,760^th in the world and 32^nd in The Wellspring for Largest Black Market, with 12.5 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
