The Second North Poland Oblast of NPO2 is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Prime Minister Johnathan Hawthorn with an even hand, and renowned for its strictly enforced bedtime, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 9.949 billion NPO2ians 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 relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Imriek City. The average income tax rate is 34.2%.

The frighteningly efficient NPO2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,828 trillion Imrieks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Retail. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 183,763 Imrieks, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Sporting events are the biggest source of funding for NPO2ian schools, telling someone to 'break a leg' is considered a criminal inducement to self harm, domestic fishermen fly the NPO2ian flag out of fear of being blown up, and boys are shocked by the revolutionary lesson that women are actually human. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. NPO2's national animal is the Penguin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.

NPO2 is ranked 65,948^th in the world and 261^st in Europe for Largest Populations, with 9.95 billion capita.
