Overview • People • Government • Economy • Trend • Analysis

The Republic of Ducky II is a colossal, devout nation, ruled by Alistair Fountain PM with an even hand, and remarkable for its strong anti-business politics. Its compassionate, intelligent population of 9.411 billion are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Social Welfare. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quacksville. The average income tax rate is 100%. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

The colors pink and purple are banned from military unit insignia, female newsreaders distract the nation by breastfeeding during broadcast, people reciting Shakespeare have become a common sight, and politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ducky II's national animal is the Duckdog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is Beakanity, and its currency is the pound.

Ducky II is ranked 2,960th in Balder and 130,918th in the world for Stupidest Citizens, scoring -28 on the Average Edu-UNtellignce® Test Score.
