The Defender of The Duck Army Squadron 8 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with an even hand, and renowned for its smutty television. The devout population of 2.174 billion Duck Wardens are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckland. The average income tax rate is 35.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Duck economy, worth 85.9 trillion Duckcoins a year, is quite specialized and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Retail, Soda Sales, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 39,494 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Oil executives can be seen reluctantly cleaning oil-soaked birds, former school buses now regularly shuttle kids to the nearest shopping centers to work, rumours have it that a secret police is responsible for the recent spate of missing persons, and every politician claims to be at least 1% Native Duck. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Duck Army Squadron 8's national animal is the Duck, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Duckism.

The Duck Army Squadron 8 is ranked 171,574^th in the world and 2,034^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Patriotic, with 7.13 flags saluted per person per day.
