The Default Republic of RepublicDefault is a massive, economically powerful nation, renowned for its compulsory military service. Its hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 1.281 billion are ruled with an iron fist by the corrupt, dictatorship government, which oppresses anyone who isn't on the board of a Fortune 500 company. Large corporations tend to be above the law, and use their financial clout to gain ever-increasing government benefits at the expense of the poor and unemployed.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, corrupt, moralistic, pro-business government stops and the rest of society begins, but it devotes most of its attentions to Defence, with areas such as the Environment and Education receiving almost no funds by comparison. The average income tax rate is 71%. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Uranium Mining industry, followed by Arms Manufacturing and Woodchip Exports.

Citizens must pay to enjoy RepublicDefault's pristine beaches, citizens are regularly arrested in queues for 'loitering', vile black smog from coal power plants has enveloped several major urban centres, and children as young as eight can be found working in factories. Crime -- especially youth-related -- is well under control, thanks to the all-pervasive police force. RepublicDefault's national animal is the bagpiper, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its currency is the silver crown.

RepublicDefault is ranked 49th in the region and 39,817th in the world for Most Devout Nations.
