The Republic of The Sleeping Duck 3 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, remarkable for its public floggings, digital currency, and avant-garde cinema. The cynical, devout population of 6.145 billion Sleeping Duck 3ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 58.0%.

The all-consuming Sleeping Duck 3ian economy, worth 575 trillion pesos a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Furniture Restoration, and Woodchip Exports. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 93,649 pesos, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 283,491 per year while the poor average 24,072, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Foreign countries consider stepping on their grass to be a serious offense, East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy', anyone who sneezes at border crossings is turned away, and school uniforms are compulsory. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Sleeping Duck 3's national animal is the beaver, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

The Sleeping Duck 3 is ranked 86,930^th in the world and 10^th in England for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 12,991.11 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
