The Defender of The Duck Army Squadron 1 is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, compulsory military service, and ubiquitous missile silos. The compassionate, devout population of 2.684 billion Ducks 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckland. The average income tax rate is 19.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The large but inefficient Duck economy, worth 102 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Gambling, and Basket Weaving. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 38,054 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

All beauty contests have been banned, liberals and conservatives try to disqualify each other's candidates on the grounds that "their ideas would never work in the real world", police escort anti-abortion activists to free speech cages if they try to express their views, and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. The Duck Army Squadron 1's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Duckism.

The Duck Army Squadron 1 is ranked 109,447^th in the world and 1,135^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Corrupt Governments, with 10.12 kickbacks per hour.
