The Bubbly Community of Duodez is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Common Cooperative Council with a fair hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, state-planned economy, and absence of drug laws. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 18.937 billion Duodezians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government is primarily concerned with Education, although Environment and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Defense receive no funds. The average income tax rate is 84.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duodezian economy, worth a remarkable 4,385 trillion Batzens a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing and Information Technology. Average income is an amazing 231,575 Batzens, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

If there's something strange in your neighborhood you call Brancaland, voting is voluntary, increasing numbers of children in Duodez have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, and blind dates reemerge as a necessary evil in the quest for love. Crime is totally unknown. Duodez's national animal is the Sand Cat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duodez is ranked 27,349^th in the world and 42^nd in Gay for Lowest Crime Rates, with 84.5 law-abiding acts per hour.
