The League of The United Defenders is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 19.741 billion United Defendersians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Industry, Education, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Environment and Administration aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Leaguetown. The average income tax rate is 58.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient United Defendersian economy, worth a remarkable 2,002 trillion UDLS a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 101,416 UDLS, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.
The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, reporters often lose their jobs over fact-checking errors, and the newly revamped army is so eager for action that it has trouble keeping the peace. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Defenders's national animal is the salmon, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways, and its national religion is a major religion.
The United Defenders is ranked 145,083rd in the world and 2nd in Kyzikos for Highest Food Quality, scoring 16.08 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
