The Rogue Nation of ND Talker 2 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Normal Joe with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, smutty television, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 2.766 billion ND Talker 2ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Pork City. The average income tax rate is 67.7%.

The powerhouse ND Talker 2ian economy, worth 240 trillion lives a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Trout Farming, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 87,034 lives, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Scientists who publish a non-reproducible result are tarred and feathered, citizens are encouraged to report friends, family members or co-workers who seem depressed to the government for "counselling", schoolchildren must pass a six-month Ethics and Safety Committee Assessment before they are allowed to mix baking soda and vinegar, and the navy is chrome-plating its battleships to prevent rust. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. ND Talker 2's national animal is the reaper, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Joetally.

ND Talker 2 is ranked 198,748^th in the world and 23^rd in New Deathland Storage for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 55.68 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
