The Federation of Patito de Goma is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by The Giant Rubber Duck with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, national health service, and rampant corporate plagiarism. The compassionate, cheerful population of 8.746 billion Ducks are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of La Bañera. The average income tax rate is 99.1%.

The frighteningly efficient Duck economy, worth a remarkable 1,907 trillion Quacks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Tourism, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. Average income is an amazing 218,149 Quacks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Foreign policy often involves bullwhips and leather, buses are widely regarded as the safest way to travel, foreigners must sell an arm and a leg to afford surgery in Patito de Goma, and the La Bañera Film Festival recently voted 'Duck Getting Hit By Football' as best film. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Patito de Goma's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Patito de Goma is ranked 291,817^th in the world and 4,156^th in the Pacific for Most Primitive, scoring -870.76 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
