The Holy Empire of Duckmainland is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Oisín III with an even hand, and notable for its museums and concert halls, compulsory military service, and stringent health and safety legislation. The compassionate population of 1.026 billion Duckians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Gandaria. The average income tax rate is 56.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The Duckmainlandian economy, worth 65.3 trillion Duckian pounds a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Cheese Exports. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 63,604 Duckian pounds, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

The government subsidizes those who produce the worst results, escargots have lost their charm ever since they started to be called 'cooked land snails', adultery has been made a capital offence, and police officers often head to work wearing onesies and fluffy pink bunny-slippers. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duckmainland's national animal is the Holy duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies, and its national religion is Fowlisim.

Duckmainland is ranked 133,479th in the world and 2,028th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,154.14 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
