The No Mischievous Plans of Peace is Our Profession is a massive, socially progressive nation, notable for its irreverence towards religion, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.671 billion Defenders live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The minute, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Healthcare, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.4%.

The strong Defender economy, worth 91.4 trillion shields a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Uranium Mining, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 54,691 shields, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 352,494 per year while the poor average 3,428, a ratio of 102 to 1.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, scientists regularly clone human beings for research purposes, funerals are often rudely interrupted by juggling clowns shouting for volunteers from the audience, and citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes. Crime is a major problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Peace is Our Profession's national animal is the dove, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Peace is Our Profession is ranked 261,459^th in the world and 14^th in Hurricane for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 15.49 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
