The Blåhaj enjoyers of Two Pickles is a colossal, genial nation, renowned for its museums and concert halls, free-roaming dinosaurs, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.201 billion Pickles are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celeste. The average income tax rate is 71.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pickle economy, worth 469 trillion Pickles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 111,680 Pickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Interest in globalism never flags, the "Underwear of Women in Power" issue of The Celeste Times is sold out, lobotomies haven't been the same after the practice was severed, and social media sites prompt users to send birthday greetings to unresponsive nonagenarians. Crime is totally unknown. Two Pickles's national animal is the Blåhaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ikea.

Two Pickles is ranked 209,171^st in the world and 2,718^th in the South Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.79 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
