The Armed Republic of Dukna is a gargantuan, efficient nation, renowned for its digital currency, national health service, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, devout population of 12.65 billion Duknans 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kili. The average income tax rate is 75.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duknan economy, worth a remarkable 1,805 trillion Dukers a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 142,699 Dukers, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The DBI Channel Tunnel project is plagued by delays, employers are keenest on employees who lack family values, libraries are replacing history books and classic novels with technical manuals and trades directories to match the nation's changing demands, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dukna's national animal is the Lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Judaism.

Dukna is ranked 19,292^nd in the world and 13^th in New Western Atlantic for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 285.86 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
