The Armed Republic of Knowwear in Youtopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Darkwing Duck with an iron fist, and remarkable for its deadly medical pandemics, enslaved workforce, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.467 billion Knowwear in Youtopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Knowwear in Youtopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,543 trillion deutsche marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an amazing 411,697 deutsche marks, but there is a vast disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,668,853 per year while the poor average 25,398, a ratio of 105 to 1.

Fake beard sales are on the rise amongst female commuters, the inside lane of every highway is for parked vehicles only, it's entirely possible foreign diplomats misheard when Knowwear in Youtopia offered the words "peace be upon you", and APCs on school runs disgorge kids via assault ramps. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Knowwear in Youtopia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Duckism.

Knowwear in Youtopia is ranked 15,548th in the world and 450th in the Rejected Realms for Nudest, with 752.75 cheeks per square mile.
