The Dictatorship of Rubber duckies is a very large, orderly nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, zero percent divorce rate, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 152 million Rubber duckiesians 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 medium-sized, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.5%.

The very strong Rubber duckiesian economy, worth 8.40 trillion Human souls a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Trout Farming industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration and Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 55,255 Human souls, with the richest citizens earning 5.7 times as much as the poorest.

Traffic cops spend most of their work-hours calculating citizens' monthly income, it needn't take a lot of snot and tears to fix a problem, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", and the institution of marriage is held sacred and strictly enforced. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Rubber duckies's national animal is the Rubber duckie.

Rubber duckies is ranked 83,696th in the world and 29th in Britannia Prima for Most Patriotic, with 17.03 flags saluted per person per day.
