The Armed Republic of Knowwear in Youtopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Darkwing Duck with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.094 billion Knowwear in Youtopians 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order and Spirituality also on the agenda, while Welfare and Environment aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 8.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Knowwear in Youtopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,963 trillion deutsche marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 445,581 deutsche marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,060,559 per year while the poor average 58,130, a ratio of 35.4 to 1.

Young children are regularly seen wagering pocket money at blackjack tables, the duck stadiums are open 24/7, Knowwear in Youtopia has become a gigantic dustbowl filled with tourists and mean desperados, and government statisticians explain census inaccuracies by declaring that "Sith happens". Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Knowwear in Youtopia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Duckism.

Knowwear in Youtopia is ranked 1,936th in the world and 65th in the Rejected Realms for Lowest Crime Rates, with 146.45 law-abiding acts per hour.
