The Overwatch's Enhanced Bastion of Voorzichtigheid is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Jamie Izabella Astrid Lizbeth Ruby Marie with a fair hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 16.531 billion Titans love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Watchpoint Gibraltar of the Ex-Overwatch. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Voorzichtigheidian economy, worth a remarkable 5,303 trillion Universal and Reliable Valentian Credits a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an amazing 320,804 Universal and Reliable Valentian Credits, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

One tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, escaped birthday balloons are torpedoed out of the sky, physics lessons mostly involve talking about emotional management techniques, and glittering new sports stadiums adorn every city and town. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Voorzichtigheid's national animal is the Very Big Katten en Kittens van de Wereld, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Atheism amongst Many Other Religions.

Voorzichtigheid is ranked 104,151st in the world and 4th in Singapore Island for Most Stationary, with 410.31722350792 days.
