The Military of War Babies is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by The War Baby with an iron fist, and remarkable for its zero percent divorce rate, sprawling nuclear power plants, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 7.694 billion War Babiesians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Military Base. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 15.4%.

The frighteningly efficient War Babiesian economy, worth a remarkable 1,192 trillion dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Information Technology, and Retail. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an impressive 154,933 dollars, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,264,033 per year while the poor average 4,111, a ratio of 307 to 1.

The national guard is mobilized whenever a mother gets separated from her child at the mall, male cubicle workers stand up every time a woman enters the room, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, and only 'organics' are permitted to be citizens. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. War Babies's national animal is the red tailed hawk, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is War.

War Babies is ranked 61,777th in the world and 1st in War for Largest Furniture Restoration Industry, scoring 4,244.62 on the Spitz-Pollish Productivity Index.
