The Grand Kingdom of Duzastan is a massive, cultured nation, ruled by Queen Ellegaard with an even hand, and remarkable for its parental licensing program, complete lack of prisons, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed population of 2.28 billion Duzans have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Antochär. The average income tax rate is 71.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming Duzan economy, worth 195 trillion Duzani Diñets a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Cheese Exports industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 85,683 Duzani Diñets, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Souvenir shops that sell alphorns are taking advantage of gullible tourists, teachers are skilled at leaving no evidence of child cruelty, maritime signalling has become tedious since only the Duzan flag can be displayed, and all telephone traffic is monitored for 'national security reasons'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duzastan's national animal is the Anomalocaris, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Christianity.

Duzastan is ranked 93,619^th in the world and 31^st in Arctica for Most Cheerful Citizens, with 50.5 Percentage Of Water Glasses Perceived Half-Full.
