The Colony-State of Dackians is a huge, efficient nation, renowned for its keen interest in outer space, state-planned economy, and suspicion of poets. The compassionate population of 598 million Dackians 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 Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckburg. The average income tax rate is 24.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Dackian economy, worth 58.3 trillion Golden Thingies a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Information Technology, Automobile Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 97,482 Golden Thingies, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Dackian husbands are dead good at fathering kids, dozens of viewers go online to hear whether a comma has been added to Clause 5 in Subsection B of Law 58375, party affiliation is just as irrelevant as campaign promises, and small children are learning a lot of new words from a teacher with Tourette Syndrome. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Dackians's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Dackians is ranked 29,753^rd in the world and 10^th in THE W0RLD for Most Secular, with 35.64 Atheism Rate.
