The Isoverse of DULC is a mammoth, orderly nation, remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, zero percent divorce rate, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 5.057 billion Ducks 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, well-organized government prioritizes Defense, although Administration, Industry, and Education are also considered important. The average income tax rate is 60.3%.

The all-consuming Duck economy, worth 578 trillion Duckcoins a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, and Beef-Based Agriculture. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an impressive 114,438 Duckcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.4 times as much as the poorest.

Kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, cowboys often wear wolfskin jackets to the saloon, and the government only invests in infrastructure after a natural disaster. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DULC's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

DULC is ranked 125,646th in the world and 541st in Artificial Solar System for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,622.85 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
