The Republic of Inverted Default is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Leader with an even hand, and remarkable for its public floggings, restrictive gun laws, and stringent health and safety legislation. The quiet, industrious population of 2.898 billion Defaulters are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of NationStates. The average income tax rate is 53.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The sizeable but underdeveloped Default economy, worth 75.5 trillion Defaults a year, is quite specialized and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 26,063 Defaults, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Animal liberationists receive government funding to break into animal research labs, lawyers turn down litigation cases and corporate work in order to focus on lucrative public defence work, flash floods that dams could have controlled regularly ravage small towns in mountain valleys, and arms manufacturing has been put at an arm's length. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Inverted Default's national animal is the Default.

Inverted Default is ranked 205,320^th in the world and 4^th in Warhammer 40000 for Least Corrupt Governments, with 92.17 percentage of bribes refused.
