The Blåhaj enjoyers of Two Pickles is a colossal, genial nation, notable for its daily referendums, punitive income tax rates, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.266 billion Pickles are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The large, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Celeste. The average income tax rate is 72.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Pickle economy, worth 480 trillion Pickles a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Trout Farming industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 112,540 Pickles, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The nation's industries are scrambling to switch to biodegradable plastics, buildings are experiencing some new ten-ants, voter turnout for the election of the Junior Assistant for Non-Digital Media Strategies has been unsurprisingly low, and 3D printed organs are a breath of new life for the sick and elderly. Crime is totally unknown. Two Pickles's national animal is the Blåhaj, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ikea.

Two Pickles is ranked 34,221^st in the world and 623^rd in the South Pacific for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 71.97 Effective Tax Rate.
