The Quacking Monarchy of Duckstan is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by King Francis with an iron fist, and remarkable for its avowedly heterosexual populace, avant-garde cinema, and triple-decker prams. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 14.032 billion Duckstanis are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckbourg. The average income tax rate is 69.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Duckstani economy, worth a remarkable 1,413 trillion Duckstani Francs a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,728 Duckstani Francs, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The dessert 'Death by Chocolate' isn't the most lethal dish on the menu, flipping a coin to make a decision leads to a referral to Gambling Addiction Services, libraries are now installed with jacuzzis and mini-bars, and taking a walk on the wild side is punishable by death. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duckstan's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Catholicism.

Duckstan is ranked 249,336^th in the world and 217^th in The Union of Democratic States for Most Primitive, scoring -150.06 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
