The Operators of The World Defense Organization is a huge, genial nation, renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 594 million Defenders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Defender Square. The average income tax rate is 72.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient World Defense Organizationian economy, worth 59.8 trillion Dollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 100,675 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Moonshine has made a resurgence, incarcerated crime lords manage their empires from massage tables, psychiatrists bizarrely accompany Leader to meetings with foreign heads of state, and with increasingly clear skies nobody seems to mind the electricity bill going through the roof. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The World Defense Organization's national animal is the Capybara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The World Defense Organization is ranked 37,275^th in the world and 71^st in A Taco Paradise for Largest Automobile Manufacturing Sector, scoring 4,775.11 on the Henry Ford Productivity Index.
