The Armed Republic of Knowwear in Youtopia is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Darkwing Duck with an iron fist, and renowned for its lack of airports, avowedly heterosexual populace, and exploding hoverboards. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 30.693 billion Knowwear in Youtopians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The tiny, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Knowwear in Youtopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,851 trillion deutsche marks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 418,706 deutsche marks, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 2,551,137 per year while the poor average 30,413, a ratio of 83.9 to 1.

Many believe that the only good duck is a dead duck, in government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, prevalence rates of genitourinary infectious disease are inexplicably on the rise, and radio stations are forbidden to play anything with too much drum or bass. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Knowwear in Youtopia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Duckism.

Knowwear in Youtopia is ranked 5,924^th in the world and 117^th in the Rejected Realms for Largest Black Market, with 1,242 trillion Standard Monetary Units.
