The Colony of Dack is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its compulsory military service, enslaved workforce, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 533 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 Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckburg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.

The strong Dackian economy, worth 26.0 trillion Golden Thingies a year, is led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Uranium Mining. Average income is 48,716 Golden Thingies, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 252,648 per year while the poor average 5,089, a ratio of 49.6 to 1.

Military spending is on the increase, immigrant Maxtopians are routinely sold on popular internet auction sites, one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber, and both criminals and civilians are DOA. Crime is moderate. Dack's national animal is the duck, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities.

Dack is ranked 270,356^th in the world and 112^th in Spiritus for Most Extreme, scoring 7.73 on the Paul-Nader Subjective Decentrality Index.
