The Bubbly Community of Duodez is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Common Cooperative Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its absence of drug laws, devotion to social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.981 billion Duodezians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense are ignored. The average income tax rate is 84.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duodezian economy, worth a remarkable 4,376 trillion Batzens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 230,574 Batzens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Voting is voluntary, increasing numbers of children in Duodez have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love, and criminals and college students are taking an interest in the government's new weed-killing program. Crime is totally unknown. Duodez's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duodez is ranked 14,564^th in the world and 24^th in Gay for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
