The Armed Republic of Knowwear in Youtopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Darkwing Duck with an iron fist, and remarkable for its teetotalling pirates, infamous sell-swords, and complete lack of public education. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 29.187 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 relatively small, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.8%.
The frighteningly efficient Knowwear in Youtopian economy, worth an astonishing 13,247 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 rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an amazing 453,883 deutsche marks, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Environmental protestors are being rounded up and taken away in sinister black vans as a massive land development campaign gets underway, people think "siege mentality" is a positive trait, the hardest thing for a mining operation to dig through is government red tape, and government expenses are beyond compare. 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 291,582nd in the world and 6,907th in the Rejected Realms for Safest, scoring 1.71 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
