The Operators of The World Defense Organization is a huge, cultured nation, notable for its soft-spoken computers, national health service, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate population of 664 million 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, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Defender Square. The average income tax rate is 73.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient World Defense Organizationian economy, worth 67.9 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 significant contributions from Book Publishing, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is an impressive 102,238 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The big red machine has ground to a halt, heartfelt sentiments are mercilessly marketed by a million-Dollar treacle machine, anti-government web sites are springing up, and any secret that gets off someone's chest is promptly replaced. 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 28,361^st in the world and 8^th in A Taco Paradise for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 228.16 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
