The Democratic Republic of Ducrasan is a mid-sized, socially progressive nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service and irreverence towards religion. The hard-working, democratic population of 62 million Ducrasanians hold their civil and political rights very dear, although the wealthy and those in business tend to be viewed with suspicion.

The tiny government juggles the competing demands of Welfare, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 7.7%.

The strong Ducrasanian economy, worth 3.09 trillion dolars a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Gambling, and Pizza Delivery. Average income is 49,874 dolars, with the richest citizens earning 5.4 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is moderate, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. Ducrasan's national animal is the Dog, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

Ducrasan is ranked 203,580^th in the world and 770^th in Concord for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring -1.41 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
