The Free land of Ducky II is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Alistair Fountain with an even hand, and remarkable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.791 billion Ducky IIians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quacksville. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ducky IIian economy, worth a remarkable 5,802 trillion Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,772 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

A ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, the housing market has collapsed like an overbaked Brancalandian souffle, posh kids don't look down on the poor any more, and construction workers evacuate work sites after finding sharp rocks on the ground. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ducky II's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Humanism.

Ducky II is ranked 378^th in the world and 2^nd in Eladen for Lowest Crime Rates, with 211.09 law-abiding acts per hour.
