The Grand Duchy of Paperino is a colossal, safe nation, ruled by Carl Barks with a fair hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, zero percent divorce rate, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, democratic, devout population of 9.17 billion Mighty Ducks enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The frighteningly efficient Donaldvillois economy, worth a remarkable 1,185 trillion topolino dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Basket Weaving.

The number of students attending university has reached a record high, unsolved crimes are often pinned on veterans with PTSD, terrorist videos start by thanking their sponsors, and earthquake sirens are a leading cause of hearing loss.
