The Empire of The Amaranthine Ducks is a very large, safe nation, remarkable for its avant-garde cinema, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and irreverence towards religion. The democratic population of 125 million Amaranthine Ducksians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 30.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Amaranthine Ducksian economy, worth 5.31 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Soda Sales, Information Technology, and Beef-Based Agriculture. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 42,479 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

Retail stores are known for creating their own oddly-similar holidays in the months preceding any major festivity, studio executives abandon tragic stories of star-crossed lovers because "it's been done", tech-mad citizens think that the laser-powered bread-slicer uPhone App is the coolest thing since sliced bread, and when their backs are against the walls Amaranthine Ducksians look out for gay men. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Amaranthine Ducks's national animal is the Duck.

The Amaranthine Ducks is ranked 228,017^th in the world and 3^rd in Iserlohn Fortress for Highest Average Incomes, with 42,479.98 Standard Monetary Units.
