The District of Great Duck Island is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Liard with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and enforced nudity. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 32.162 billion Great Duck Islandians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The tiny government prioritizes Welfare, although Education and Spirituality are also considered important, while Social Policy and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of District City. The average income tax rate is 9.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Great Duck Islandian economy, worth 938 trillion betales a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 29,174 betales, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Liard has just been declared ruler of Great Duck Island in an international press conference, a major religion has been named as Great Duck Island's national religion, major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, and anti-government web sites are springing up. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Great Duck Island's national animal is the deer, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Great Duck Island is ranked 86,665th in the world and 465th in 0000 for Most Stationary, with 530.07686213948 days.
