The United Kingdom of Twisted Duality is a titanic, cultured nation, ruled by Dave with an even hand, and notable for its rampant corporate plagiarism, compulsory military service, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working population of 24.202 billion Twisted Dualityians 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 government — a sprawling, bureaucracy-choked morass — juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Davidian. The average income tax rate is 88.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Twisted Dualityian economy, worth a remarkable 2,116 trillion Pounds a year, is highly specialized and mostly made up of the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 87,456 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Annulments are on the rise as couples discover their ancestors were born in the same hospitals, treason is relative, local executives are seen on the corner with cardboard signs reading "will oppress the masses for food", and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Twisted Duality's national animal is the Duck Billed Platypus, which frolics freely in the nation's sparkling oceans.

Twisted Duality is ranked 29,186^th in the world and 353^rd in the West Pacific for Nicest Citizens, with 19.56 average smiles per day.
