I would like everyone to take note that it takes all the defenders in NationStates with an assist by the Mods to fight back the power of H.A.A.Z.

Considering that you have only 460 million while many other nations have... I dunno... 2 billion? And then, only a fraction of that is your military. Let's say 5% of your population. That's 23 million personnel, including all of the support and reserve people, which means that the number of your active combat men and women are cut down even further.
Now, let's calculate an army from 2 billion. That's 100,000,000 soldiers, pilots, seamen, etc. I'd say they have more manpower than you do.
And a lot have a better economy. Take the Empire of Drum Gods (dunno why I chose that one). Your economy has a strong rating. The Drum Gods' rating is Frightening. Higher than yours.
I'd be willing to bet that he has higher tech than you do, as well...

I'd guess that Haaz was talking about a UN invasion.

Well HAAZ its just more difficult to invade. It takes planning, strategy and skill. To be a defender all you need is to plop down in a region like a sack of potatos.
