The Concrete Slabian Switcher of The Poker 2 is a massive, safe nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 4.919 billion Poker 2ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Administration. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 62.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Poker 2ian economy, worth 515 trillion Pokes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,889 Pokes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 319,927 per year while the poor average 26,671, a ratio of 12.0 to 1.

The examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, counselors diagnose their clients with motherboard complexes, and beating enemies to death with a baseball bat is legal if done within nine innings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Poker 2's national animal is the Poker, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Poker 2 is ranked 47,093rd in the world and 345th in Artificial Solar System for Safest, scoring 103.8 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
