The Fast Food Restaurant Fail of Chum Buckets 2 is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Sheldon James Plankton with an iron fist, and remarkable for its digital currency, keen interest in outer space, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 10.654 billion Chumiang are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The tiny, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bikini Bottom. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Bukitan economy, worth a remarkable 1,762 trillion $ Dollar Seas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Soda Sales, and Gambling. Average income is an impressive 165,476 $ Dollar Seas, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,493,111 per year while the poor average 2,234, a ratio of 668 to 1.

You can say what you like about the genocidal murderers that rule Chum Buckets 2 but at least the trains run on time, the richest citizens live in sheltered private citadels, athletes are renowned for being the best at maths, and young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables. Crime, especially youth-related, is all-pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Chum Buckets 2's national animal is the Fish, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Stealing the Krabby Patty.

Chum Buckets 2 is ranked 310,349^th in the world and 13^th in Indonesia Nusantara for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring -17.03 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
