The Pipes of TRR 2 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Paul Pipe with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, enslaved workforce, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 21.469 billion TRians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rejected Pipe. The average income tax rate is 35.7%.

The frighteningly efficient TRR 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 2,533 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Tourism. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 118,029 Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of TRR 2's historical leaders at Mount Rushless, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, TRR 2 has been recently classified as an international menace after 'liberating' several nearby territories, and morning coffees are no longer the same since the disappearance of newspapers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. TRR 2's national animal is the eagle, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Pipism.

TRR 2 is ranked 220,396th in the world and 1st in Coincidentinent for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring -4.9 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
