The Unstoppable Strength of The United Universe is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Do with an even hand, and renowned for its closed borders, public floggings, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 12.083 billion Defenders are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Please. The average income tax rate is 58.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Defender economy, worth a remarkable 1,536 trillion Ejects a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched black market in Arms Manufacturing, Retail, Woodchip Exports, and Soda Sales. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 127,178 Ejects, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Defender tourists are encouraged to hand out spare condoms to locals while on vacation, the big red machine has ground to a halt, half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach, and only fully-fledged members of MENSA are allowed to vote. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The United Universe's national animal is the Me, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Not.

The United Universe is ranked 284,610th in the world and 529th in Far East Oriental Federation for Most Stationary, with 4.79026082312 days.
