The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and notable for its daily referendums, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 30.023 billion Duracellians 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 Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Super Mario City. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 5,785 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 192,707 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

10-year-olds who struggle with integrating by parts are considered slow learners, the demands of climate protestors are measured in spray-paint can sales, cash-strapped junkies lick rabbits for a cheap high, and welfare recipients frequently parlay checks into homelessness. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duracell's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sports and Video Games Religion.

Duracell is ranked 5,033^rd in the world and 122^nd in The East Pacific for Most Eco-Friendly Governments, scoring 8,259.56 on the Dolphin Recycling Awareness Index.
