The August Isles of Trackleelee2 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Yumatthew Seba with a fair hand, and notable for its strictly enforced bedtime, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless, devout population of 29.064 billion Kurts are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Excalaguna. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 87.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Kurthene economy, worth a remarkable 7,360 trillion Radeons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Average income is an amazing 253,256 Radeons, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 996,637 per year while the poor average 43,679, a ratio of 22.8 to 1.

The experimental sculpture "Overtures In Dried Oken Dung" has been declared a national treasure, vegetables are crisper thanks to CRISPR, seasonal hay-fever sufferers are attending government drug counselling sessions to get free doughnuts, and the Kurthene Intelligence Agency relies on internet search engines to know what is happening overseas. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Trackleelee2's national animal is the Oken, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Thercule.

Trackleelee2 is ranked 3,254^th in the world and 52^nd in 10000 Islands for Lowest Crime Rates, with 127.88 law-abiding acts per hour.
