The Kingdom of Beta Two is a mammoth, safe nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and smutty television. The hard-working population of 5.104 billion Beta Twoans are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 24.8%.

The Beta Twoan economy, worth 252 trillion Delta Eagles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Average income is 49,465 Delta Eagles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.3 times as much as the poorest.

It's widely agreed that to tennis players love means nothing, athletic teenagers are among the wealthiest members of society, foreigners with shady pasts are fleeing the country, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime is well under control, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Beta Two's national animal is the Kitsune, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Beta Two is ranked 147,025^th in the world and 5^th in nine for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 75.17 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
