The Republic of Parpyduckland is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Parpyduck with a fair hand, and renowned for its museums and concert halls, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 7.347 billion Parpites hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, liberal, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Parappa. The average income tax rate is 63.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Parpyducklandian economy, worth 926 trillion kibbles a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Book Publishing, and Gambling. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 126,060 kibbles, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Public footpaths are being slowly eroded by the burgeoning number of ramblers, teens are voting on which C-List pop star will be next to be evicted from the opera house, wealthy parents-to-be can select their perfect baby, and the government has begun breaking all large businesses into thousands of mom-and-pop general stores. Crime is totally unknown. Parpyduckland's national animal is the rat, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Rat Worship.

Parpyduckland is ranked 26,975^th in the world and 802^nd in The North Pacific for Most Secular, with 39.29 Atheism Rate.
