The Federal Republic of Isle of Ducks is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its avant-garde cinema and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 440 million Isle of Ducksians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The tiny, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.8%.
The thriving Isle of Ducksian economy, worth 39.5 trillion Plitheroons a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Information Technology. Average income is 89,804 Plitheroons, with the richest citizens earning 6.5 times as much as the poorest.
The streets are increasingly clogged with poverty-stricken beggars, boats straying just metres away from the shore will raise the ire of the Coast Guard, claims adjusters are uselessly vague, and the running costs of homeless shelters are so high that it would be cheaper to buy houses for the homeless. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Isle of Ducks's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.
Isle of Ducks is ranked 231,502nd in the world and 233rd in Refugia for Largest Populations, with 440 million capita.
