The United States of New Minecraft 2 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Julie von Harrisburg with an iron fist, and renowned for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 10.82 billion Minkraftians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The enormous, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Susquehanna. The average income tax rate is 86.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Menicraffic economy, worth a remarkable 1,259 trillion Kolus a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 116,427 Kolus, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

It's been a banner year for local vexillology, it is said that the captain goes down with the ship but ecological protection goes up, structures are raised on promises, and all mothers are allowed six months fully-paid maternity leave. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. New Minecraft 2's national animal is the robin, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

New Minecraft 2 is ranked 111,002^nd in the world and 16^th in The Azure Archipelago for Most Cultured, scoring 65 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
