The Ducky Paradise of Duckstate is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by The Presiduck with a fair hand, and renowned for its ubiquitous missile silos, absence of drug laws, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 1.205 billion Duck-loving citizens enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The relatively small, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. The average income tax rate is 13.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ducky economy, worth 151 trillion Duck Dollars a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Retail, and Soda Sales. Average income is an impressive 126,031 Duck Dollars, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.

The government loves seeing the little people fight, citizens simply have to point a weapon at a government official to get what they want, candlelit dinners are less romantic with a flickering LED, and the government is notorious for leaving citizens with almost nothing from their inheritance. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Duckstate's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Duckism.

Duckstate is ranked 14,945^th in the world and 10^th in Blue Ridge for Largest Basket Weaving Sector, scoring 6,518.39 on the Hickory Productivity Index.
