The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and notable for its compulsory military service, public floggings, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 25.015 billion Duracellians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Super Mario City. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 4,661 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 186,333 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers, belligerent citizens shoot at passing clouds for 'violating their airspace', and Duracell has one of the largest offshore wind farms in the world. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duracell's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sports and Video Games Religion.

Duracell is ranked 3,909^th in the world and 107^th in The East Pacific for Safest, scoring 134.76 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
