The Colony of Duandia is a huge, efficient nation, remarkable for its frequent executions, irreverence towards religion, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 514 million Duandians 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 juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 35.2%.

The very strong Duandian economy, worth 32.2 trillion DUDS a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Retail, Basket Weaving, and Arms Manufacturing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 62,732 DUDS, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 205,724 per year while the poor average 14,356, a ratio of 14.3 to 1.

Foreign leaders' Twitcher accounts are monitored for potential threats to national security, beloved cartoon icon Mikkey Beetle writhes after eating DUDS, public loudspeakers constantly tell citizens they are "happy people", and heavily-armed commandos play rock-paper-scissors over whether to execute criminals and foreign visitors. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duandia's national animal is the Beetle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duandia is ranked 208,363^rd in the world and 72^nd in Der Leibwache for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -2.65 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
