The Directionless Anarchy of Duchy of Personal Freedoms is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Glorious Leader with an even hand, and notable for its prohibition of alcohol, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 27.117 billion Free Citizens are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The relatively small, corrupt, pro-business government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Administration, Education, and Industry also on the agenda, while Welfare and Social Policy aren't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Impressive Lair. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 2.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Personally Free economy, worth a remarkable 6,917 trillion Fiat Ducks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is notable. Average income is an amazing 255,087 Fiat Ducks, with the richest citizens earning 8.6 times as much as the poorest.

Airplane passengers who purchase "basic economy" tickets are often assigned seats in the lavatory, paper and ink publications are subsidised by the government to keep them in the black, a new guerrilla marketing campaign for tap water involves government agents spraying random citizens with hose water, and politicians sweat as journalists scour internet archives for any mention of them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Duchy of Personal Freedoms's national animal is the Quacky Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of the Glorious Leader.

Duchy of Personal Freedoms is ranked 27,637th in the world and 1,743rd in Osiris for Most Advanced Public Education, scoring 6,705.85 on the Edu-tellignce® Test Score.
