The Valiant Vessal of McClandia Doge 2 is a colossal, genial nation, ruled by Abell Ton with an even hand, and renowned for its teetotalling pirates, unlimited-speed roads, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate population of 7.352 billion Astroneers are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Abell 85. The average income tax rate is 94.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Astroneer economy, worth a remarkable 1,045 trillion Starfirms a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is mostly made up of the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is an impressive 142,210 Starfirms, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Stranded mountaineers can watch livestreamed footage of their rescues, pareidolic SETI scientists swear there's a message from aliens hidden within pi, the Ministry of Health has reported a sharp increase in the incidence of delayed menopause, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. McClandia Doge 2's national animal is the Tardigrade, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

McClandia Doge 2 is ranked 4,494^th in the world and 62^nd in Forest for Nicest Citizens, with 50.35 average smiles per day.
