The Colony of Tye 2 is a titanic, genial nation, ruled by Emperor Wuff with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, keen interest in outer space, and avowedly heterosexual populace. The compassionate population of 11.744 billion Tye 2ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Yodle City. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Tye 2ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,208 trillion Gold Coins 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 a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Tourism, and Information Technology. 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 an impressive 102,927 Gold Coins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

The military perceives nations hit by natural disasters as "easy pickings", citizens who leave the nation for work are instantly charged with treason, the new iVote app allows representatives to vote on legislation by launching ill-tempered birds and matching candies, and you can check out of an asylum if you've changed your mind. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Tye 2's national animal is the hedgehog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Yodlism.

Tye 2 is ranked 20,420^th in the world and 1^st in Tie Dye for Nicest Citizens, with 22.56 average smiles per day.
