The Republic of Ducatistan is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 2.601 billion Ducatistanians are rabid consumers, partly through choice and partly because the government tells them to and dissenters tend to vanish from their homes at night.

The relatively small, pro-business, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 12.2%.

The strong Ducatistanian economy, worth 135 trillion Ducats a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Pizza Delivery, Cheese Exports, and Soda Sales. Average income is 51,940 Ducats, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 316,714 per year while the poor average 3,765, a ratio of 84.1 to 1.

Government statistics suggest 115% of the population love Leader, the military refers to helpless combatants offering surrender as "sitting ducks", there have been reports of people marrying housepets, and only the fast and the furious are brave enough to drive. Crime, especially youth-related, is a serious problem. Ducatistan's national animal is the Bear, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Ducatistan is ranked 310,746^th in the world and 56^th in Swabia for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 442.2 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
