The Free Land of UniversalDesign2 is a very large, genial nation, remarkable for its state-planned economy, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 450 million UniversalDesign2ians 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, liberal, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Spirituality, and Education. The average income tax rate is 65.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but stagnant UniversalDesign2ian economy, worth 6.36 trillion Units 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 Tourism industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 14,131 Units, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Arbitrary election rules are considered sacrosanct, prankster scientists legally change their names to silly pseudonyms before major discoveries, UniversalDesign2 recently hosted the least successful trade negotiations since The Phantom Menace, and innocent defendants often plead guilty for fear of receiving a much harsher sentence before jury. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. UniversalDesign2's national animal is the Kitten, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

UniversalDesign2 is ranked 189,204^th in the world and 107^th in Neocortex for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 136.91 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
