The Duck of DuQuackia is a massive, efficient nation, ruled by Jake the Ducc with a fair hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, free-roaming dinosaurs, and daily referendums. The hard-working, democratic population of 1.359 billion DuQuackians 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 relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and Welfare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quackessia. The average income tax rate is 18.3%.

The very strong DuQuackian economy, worth 93.1 trillion Bills a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 68,484 Bills, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

People are arrested for looking too sternly at whales, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', The Very Hungry Caterpillar has been banned for advocating gluttony, and roads are often attended by round-the-clock construction crews. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DuQuackia's national animal is the Duck, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution, and its national religion is Duckism.

DuQuackia is ranked 254,215th in the world and 8,454th in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 17.63559982432 days.
