The Sequel of P0rtal 2 is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Valve with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, triple-decker prams, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, devout population of 3.062 billion P0rtal 2ians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of 620. The average income tax rate is 48.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The P0rtal 2ian economy, worth 131 trillion 18 April 2011s a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,894 18 April 2011s, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Elderly tribespeople die in bed surrounded by loved ones and linguists, beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings, grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, and all government communication requires the imprimatur of the Truth Police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. P0rtal 2's national animal is the Valve, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Puzzle.

P0rtal 2 is ranked 214,204th in the world and 73rd in Steam for Largest Pizza Delivery Sector, scoring -2.9 on the Pepperoni Propulsion Productivity Index.
