The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and notable for its public floggings, compulsory military service, and sprawling nuclear power plants. The hard-nosed, cheerful, devout population of 24.954 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 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 4,682 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 187,654 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III's reputation is hard as nails, Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, government bureaucrats review designs for birdhouses to ensure they do not block the views of neighbors, and children are often observed making 'sand angels' in bunkers. 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 9,201^st in the world and 214^th in The East Pacific for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 11,615.72 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
