The Protectorate of Dukov is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its burgeoning Parhean Rhinoceros population. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 10.826 billion Parhasques have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Industry, and Environment. The average income tax rate is 40.5%.

The Dukovian economy, worth 350 trillion Parhean Tongboes a year, is highly specialized and led by the Soda Sales industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Information Technology, and Trout Farming. Average income is 32,379 Parhean Tongboes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.6 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate. Dukov's national animal is the Parhean Rhinoceros, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Dukov is ranked 152,686^th in the world and 5,287^th in Lazarus for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
