The United States of Dueling Banjos is a gargantuan, safe nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 36.174 billion Dueling Banjosians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Spirituality. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 3.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Dueling Banjosian economy, worth a remarkable 8,603 trillion banjoes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Automobile Manufacturing, and Woodchip Exports. Average income is an amazing 237,846 banjoes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 721,629 per year while the poor average 60,940, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, Members of Parliament operate under a PAYE scheme, only adults may purchase violent video games, and the government funds private schools for intellectually gifted children. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force. Dueling Banjos's national animal is the liberal, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dueling Banjos is ranked 11,109^th in the world and 748^th in Lazarus for Lowest Crime Rates, with 99.12 law-abiding acts per hour.
