The Republic of Global Defender is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its burgeoning emu population. The hard-working population of 1.686 billion Global Defenderians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 26.3%.

The Global Defenderian economy, worth 60.4 trillion marks a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Arms Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,843 marks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Global Defender's national animal is the emu, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Global Defender is ranked 225,565^th in the world and 1^st in South Sea for Highest Poor Incomes, with 19,080.68 Standard Monetary Units.
