Duck Fighter

The Republic of Duck Fighter is a colossal, efficient nation, remarkable for its smutty television, ubiquitous missile silos, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, devout population of 4.865 billion Duck Fighters are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 68.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Duck economy, worth 515 trillion Duckcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 106,061 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Pinkerton agents are called in to forcibly break up white collar strikes, warfare increasingly resembles a video game, money can't buy happiness but it can buy immunity to prosecution, and the government snoops on private internet connections. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duck Fighter's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

Duck Fighter is ranked 73,299th in the world and 349th in Artificial Solar System for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 1,376.78 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
