The Republic of Fast Default is a massive, orderly nation, notable for its daily referendums, frequent executions, and state-planned economy. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 2.114 billion Defaulters are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 60.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Default economy, worth 105 trillion Defaults 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 Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Soda Sales, and Book Publishing. Average income is 49,737 Defaults, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals, the Holy Office of the Inquisition is the highest court in the land, the nation's prisons are touted as the best weight loss programs money can't buy, and executions often take hours as amateurs attempt to find veins. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Fast Default's national animal is the Default, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Fast Default is ranked 283,515^th in the world and 2,062^nd in the Rejected Realms for Most Compassionate Citizens, scoring 36.01 on the Kitten Softness Rating.
