The Democratic Republic of United Normal Ducks is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Joe Ducken with a fair hand, and remarkable for its irreverence towards religion, punitive income tax rates, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.462 billion Duckies 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 enormous, socially-minded, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ducky Town. The average income tax rate is 78.2%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Ducky economy, worth 100 trillion Ducky Dollars a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Information Technology, and Furniture Restoration. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,592 Ducky Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Modelling agencies send their clients to work in nursing homes, billions of Ducky Dollars are spent to take high-quality photos of the Normal Duck Nebula, political scientists despair as the national mascot election eclipses all others in voter enthusiasm, and soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. United Normal Ducks's national animal is the Normal Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

United Normal Ducks is ranked 27,723rd in the world and 45th in Hell for Most Secular, with 38.29 Atheism Rate.
