The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and remarkable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 25.003 billion Duracellians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Super Mario City. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 4,694 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,737 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and Duracell has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duracell's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sports and Video Games Religion.

Duracell is ranked 10,237^th in the world and 223^rd in The East Pacific for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 1,795.88 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
