The Election Commissioner of Pencil Sharpeners 2 is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Supercomputer 00356 with an iron fist, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, flagrant waste-dumping, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.434 billion Pencil Sharpeners 2ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Pandapolis. The average income tax rate is 99.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Pencil Sharpeners 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 5,360 trillion Pencil shavings a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Retail. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is a breathtaking 721,017 Pencil shavings, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Posters encourage people to "Just Do It!", the once prosperous capital is in utter decline, citizens who become homeless are immediately executed, and trouble-makers are frequently turned in to the government to be 'recycled'. Crime is totally unknown. Pencil Sharpeners 2's national animal is the Pencil, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Pencil Sharpeners 2 is ranked 452^nd in the world and 8^th in the South Pacific for Highest Wealthy Incomes, with 1.62 million Standard Monetary Units.
