The Republic of United Defenders League is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Ravania with an even hand, and renowned for its parental licensing program, anti-smoking policies, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 27.822 billion United Defenders Leagueans 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 frighteningly efficient United Defenders Leaguean economy, worth a remarkable 3,352 trillion Leaves a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 120,487 Leaves, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

The government is a proud sponsor of the National Gaming Association, dog breeding has been banned in accordance with recent animal experimentation laws, foxes are considered a delicacy, and the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Defenders League's national animal is the fox, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Defenderism.
