The Matriarchy of HC2 is a colossal, orderly nation, renowned for its ban on automobiles, prohibition of alcohol, and otherworldly petting zoo. The cynical population of 7.511 billion HC2ians 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 relatively small, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 18.8%.

The HC2ian economy, worth 364 trillion Pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,590 Pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.2 times as much as the poorest.

A suspicious number of John Smiths are known to donate to HC2ian politicians, former bars are desperately trying to re-brand themselves as cafés, foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, and children who display even minimal sporting aptitude are immediately assigned a personal trainer. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. HC2's national animal is the Spider, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

HC2 is ranked 228,066^th in the world and 4,248^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 56.24 law-abiding acts per hour.
