The Overwhelming Flock of Heard of Baby Ducks is a colossal, orderly nation, ruled by Quacker Jack with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, parental licensing program, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 9.476 billion ducks are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Long Duck Island. The average income tax rate is 29.5%.

The frighteningly efficient duck economy, worth a remarkable 2,623 trillion Bread Crumbs a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 276,852 Bread Crumbs, with the richest citizens earning 5.2 times as much as the poorest.

Harassed women are constantly hassled by guys who are "just giving them compliments", weather advisories predict sunshine with a chance of spontaneously combusting spacecraft, political clichés like "band-aid solutions" and "adrenaline shots to the economy" are headed for the dumpster, and all weapon research has been banned. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Heard of Baby Ducks's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Aduckism.

Heard of Baby Ducks is ranked 2,076^th in the world and 11^th in Forest for Most Corrupt Governments, with 342.76 kickbacks per hour.
