The Democratic Republic of Ducrasan is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, renowned for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 69 million Ducrasanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The strong Ducrasanian economy, worth 3.44 trillion dolars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,874 dolars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ducrasan's national animal is the Dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ducrasan is ranked 126,821^st in the world and 584^th in Concord for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,146.62 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
