The Operators of The World Defense Organization is a massive, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by President Griffin with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, soft-spoken computers, and compulsory military service. The compassionate population of 1.835 billion Defenders have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Defender Square. The average income tax rate is 86.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient World Defense Organizationian economy, worth 270 trillion Dollars 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 Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Arms Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 147,525 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Religious households enthusiastically use whips in private, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, national park visitors are reporting a rash of poison ivy sightings, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable 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 214,786^th in the world and 487^th in the Plains of Perdition for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 170.09 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
