'''<!--REGION_NAME_START-->In Defence of NationStates<!--REGION_NAME_END-->''' is a <!--REGION_POPULATION_DESC_START-->medium region<!--REGION_POPULATION_DESC_END-->, <!--REGION_STYLE_START-->with a thriving community with 14 nations and only 3 [[World Assembly]] Members.

 

The straight-backed, broad-smiling populace of <!--REGION_NAME_START-->In Defence of NationStates<!--REGION_NAME_END--> eagerly dismissed concerns of oppression. Nations in the region are considered developing democracies, with some political freedoms afforded to denizens. Families in the region are so obsessed with the economy that the discussion of laffer curves and supply-side reforms over supper is a regular occurrence in member nations. The median tax rate of the region is 49%, but is frequently higher for the wealthy. The economies of nations in the region tends to be weighted more towards the private sector, with on average only 45% of the economy comprising the public sector. Stoking commercial activity is a major priority for governments, accounting for an average of 10% of public expenditure.

 

In <!--REGION_NAME_START-->In Defence of NationStates<!--REGION_NAME_END-->, denizens are afforded a reasonable education, although funding is somewhat wanting. The region's law enforcement is arguably too well-equipped and overzealous, arresting citizens who dare to commit the most minor of infractions. Defense is a major priority for governments within the region, with a large chunk of government budgets being devoted to it. Public transport is considered dirty and trampish in the region. You would be mad to use it.
