The Kingdom of Defender Nathanael is a massive, genial nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and digital currency. The cynical population of 4.323 billion Defender Nathanaelians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 34.8%.

The thriving Defender Nathanaelian economy, worth 407 trillion Apexias 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 a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 94,179 Apexias, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 336,931 per year while the poor average 18,898, a ratio of 17.8 to 1.

Cheese lovers have a case of the bleus, citizens seem fixated on 105m x 45m rectangles, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, and newlywed misogynists complain about their wives keeping their maiden names. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Defender Nathanael's national animal is the Mythic, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Defender Nathanael is ranked 259,207^th in the world and 382^nd in The Apexialan Commonwealth for Most Primitive, scoring -185.52 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
