The Community of Steelfeather Rapture 2 is a colossal, socially progressive nation, ruled by the SR2 Policy Research Institute with an even hand, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, suspicion of poets, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, hard-working population of 5.169 billion avians enjoy extensive civil freedoms, particularly in social issues, while business tends to be more regulated.

The relatively small, liberal government juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 12.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The avian economy, worth 369 trillion silver doves a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 71,499 silver doves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

White strait-jackets are the new orange jumpsuits, a typical fast food menu item could serve a small army, cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is totally unknown. Steelfeather Rapture 2's national animal is the avian lost in wilderness, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Steelfeather Rapture 2 is ranked 5,147^th in the world and 9^th in Nudist Dreamland for Nicest Citizens, with 47.21 average smiles per day.
