The Democratic Order of Planets (DOOP) is a confederation of planetary states who pool their military and political resources while largely retaining their unique culture or societies.
Headquarters
In 3001, the DOOP finished a new headquarters space station over the Neutral Planet to replace their antiquated and run-down headquarters in New New Jersey. However during the opening ceremony, the space station was accidentally destroyed by one of their officers, Zapp Brannigan, and thereafter DOOP reverted to their previous headquarters in New New Jersey.
The DOOP Military
DOOP has a large military force that polices the space of its member states. Among its assets are a large number of soldiers and a fleet of ships, which are used to defend its members from attack and to defeat their enemies. The flagship of the fleet, the Nimbus, commanded by Zapp Brannigan, is stationed on Earth, though it often travels to other places in the universe during the course of its duties.
