The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and remarkable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 30.01 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 95.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 5,755 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 reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 191,791 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Vital intelligence-gathering activities are put on hold as agents return home for seduction training and advanced poker instruction, acknowledgement of minority groups is usually a Trojan horse, 10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, and the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales. 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 5,154^th in the world and 125^th in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,176.35 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
