The Ambush of Interceptor is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 8.913 billion Interceptorians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Education, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 25.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Interceptorian economy, worth 340 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is fairly diversified, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is 38,213 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Biker gangs and fashionistas are converting to Violetism en masse, elementary school students are required to master Bach's Chaconne in D before graduation, travellers are often forcibly evicted by torch-bearing mobs, and the government regularly reassures citizens that there are no monsters under their beds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Interceptor's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Interceptor is ranked 249,293^rd in the world and 1^st in Interceptor for Safest, scoring 30.07 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
