The Colony of Prouthe 2 is a huge, pleasant nation, renowned for its burgeoning big bird population. The quiet, industrious population of 964 million Prouthe 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 Healthcare, Welfare, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 18.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Prouthe 2ian economy, worth 44.0 trillion pints a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Pizza Delivery, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 45,668 pints, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, a well-funded social safety net protects the unfortunate, ADHD now stands for Attention Distracted by Hardware Devices, and tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Prouthe 2's national animal is the big bird.

Prouthe 2 is ranked 295,483^rd in the world and 4^th in Nywhere for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring -42.43 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
