The United Kingdom of British Duck is a massive, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, irreverence towards religion, and restrictive gun laws.

Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 58,385 British Pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government seizes all major gold finds, the British Duck Automotive Racing Series draws millions of spectators annually while those near the tracks complain about the noise, pretending to be prejudiced is a good way to get out of jury duty, and the might of the entire British Duckian Navy is focused on fifty bemused spear-throwing islanders. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. British Duck's national animal is the Sea Manatee, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.
