The Defender Planet of Ducky is a mammoth, cultured nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with a fair hand, and notable for its state-planned economy, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The compassionate, hard-working, democratic population of 8.176 billion Ducks live in a state of perpetual fear, as a complete breakdown of social order has led to the rise of order through biker gangs.

The relatively small, liberal, pro-business, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckland. The average income tax rate is 17.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Duck economy, worth 965 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is broadly diversified, is led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. Average income is an impressive 118,141 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.

Police struggle to solve crimes due to the lack of fingerprint records, mining is the nation's most dangerous occupation, war is made in the name of love, and big game hunters travel to Ducky to try their hand at shark-shooting. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Ducky's national animal is the Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Duckism.

Ducky is ranked 218,791^st in the world and 75^th in The Order of the Grey Wardens for Largest Black Market, with 348 billion Standard Monetary Units.
