Overview • Factbook • Policies • People • Government • Economy • Rank • Trend • Cards

The Free land of Ducky II is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alistair Fountain with an even hand, and renowned for its national health service, keen interest in outer space, and hatred of cheese. The compassionate, cheerful population of 29.894 billion Ducky IIians are fiercely patriotic and enjoy great social equality; they tend to view other, more capitalist countries as somewhat immoral and corrupt.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Administration, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Quacksville. The income tax rate is 100%.

The frighteningly efficient Ducky IIian economy, worth a remarkable 5,828 trillion Pounds a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Book Publishing industry, with significant contributions from Tourism and Information Technology. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 194,985 Pounds, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military equipment is being auctioned off to extend comatose centenarians' lives, owning a really cute pet is grounds for immediate investigation, government ministers have eclectic tastes in curtains, and the government spends more on chasing distant comets than on basic infrastructure. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Ducky II's national animal is the Dog, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Humanism.

Ducky II is ranked 994^th in the world and 2^nd in Eladen for Highest Food Quality, scoring 358.86 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
