The Empire of Defalt is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed population of 527 million Defaltians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 19.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Defaltian economy, worth 22.0 trillion Defaults a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 41,753 Defaults, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Tourists from around the world come to visit the country's famous rainforests, a small country is wondering where their capitol building's gold dome went, TV shows must meet strict ethnicity quotas, and mosh pits are a common phenomenon in Leader's political rallies. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defalt's national animal is the Default.

Defalt is ranked 155,706^th in the world and 2^nd in Snowdin for Most Corrupt Governments, with 3.5 kickbacks per hour.
