The Defender of The Duck that Meows is a massive, genial nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with an even hand, and notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape and compulsory military service. The hard-working population of 1.797 billion Ducks 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 medium-sized government is primarily concerned with Defense, with Law & Order, Healthcare, and Welfare also on the agenda. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckland. The average income tax rate is 28.3%.

The strong Duck economy, worth 82.3 trillion Catcoins a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 45,773 Catcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Smoking is banned in public areas, the government is pouring money into 'Operation Enduring Democracy', soldiers with colourful mohawks make themselves perfect targets for snipers, and one tree's worth of paperwork accompanies each imported log of timber. Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Duck that Meows's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Duckism.

The Duck that Meows is ranked 194,898^th in the world and 3,190^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring -1.3 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
