The Empire of Spear ducks is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its ban on automobiles, frequent executions, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 4.005 billion Spear ducksians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 37.9%.

The thriving Spear ducksian economy, worth 403 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 100,661 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Rural communities are all but disenfranchised as politicians focus all their attention on winning the deciding urban votes, the nation frequently scolds its subject territories for staying up past bedtime, the traditional Violetist dish of stuffed sheep's head is served with an intense look of shock upon its face, and many friends and relatives of Leader have been given ambassador jobs in tropical island nations. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Spear ducks's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Spear ducks is ranked 52,483^rd in the world and 2^nd in Scootnum for Highest Poor Incomes, with 53,585.79 Standard Monetary Units.
