The Seed Pokemon of Defending Ivysaur is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, prohibition of alcohol, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.791 billion Ivysaurs are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Ivysaur economy, worth 301 trillion Pokedollars a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient black market in Information Technology, Cheese Exports, Book Publishing, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 52,104 Pokedollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

NationStates is now a popular brand of laxatives despite Max Barry's protests, virtual assistants are seen with increasing suspicion every time they get an upgrade, ship captains always order a return to port at the slightest sign of rain, and the military claims that their threatening letters are signed with the blood of their enemies. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defending Ivysaur's national animal is the Ivysaur.

Defending Ivysaur is ranked 212,289^th in the world and 2^nd in Elements of Role Play for Most Secular, with 15.45 Atheism Rate.
