The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, frequent executions, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-working, cheerful, devout population of 21.241 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 Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Super Mario City. The average income tax rate is 95.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 3,757 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Automobile Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 176,876 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

'.lib' or '.con' domains indicate whether Duracellian websites are meant for liberals or conservatives, mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, viewers get headaches from trying to read the screen full of small print warnings that precede most TV shows, and the country routinely whitewashes uncomfortable parts of its history. 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 89,980^th in the world and 3,590^th in The East Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 2,146.53 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
