The Republic of Charge 2 is a tiny, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape. The hard-working population of 10 million Charge 2ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 15.7%.

The Charge 2ian economy, worth 506 billion monies a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Cheese Exports. Average income is 50,600 monies, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and the saying "when pigs fly" has been changed to "when the lights work". Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Charge 2's national animal is the money, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Charge 2 is ranked 36,329^th in the world and 4^th in battery for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 5,731.46 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
