The Empire of Proof by construction is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its avowedly heterosexual populace, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, cynical, devout population of 3.748 billion Proof by constructionians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The large, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Proof by constructionian economy, worth 282 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is dominated by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Trout Farming, and Basket Weaving. Average income is 75,291 Duckcoins, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Nobody knows why the caged Duck sings, singing in public is only allowed if you are singing the praise of the Motherland, politicians preface their speeches with a declaration that any resemblance to speeches given by individuals living or dead is purely coincidental, and the nationalised Arms Manufacturing Industry is not interested in making weapons. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Proof by construction's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Proof by construction is ranked 186,758^th in the world and 823^rd in Artificial Solar System for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 60.57 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
