The United Ethnics of Duoson is a massive, genial nation, notable for its compulsory military service, frequent executions, and punitive income tax rates. The compassionate, democratic population of 1.769 billion Duosonians enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.
The medium-sized, outspoken government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Healthcare. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Felvalens. The average income tax rate is 70.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.
The frighteningly efficient Duosonian economy, worth 225 trillion D$s a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Tourism. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 127,581 D$s, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.
The government has spent days debating the merits of a petition calling for a ban on sporks, the government seeks peaceful forum with terrorists, the best way to be heard in politics is to speak softly and carry a big comedy prop, and political detractors refer to Leader as 'that Bigtopian puppet'. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duoson's national animal is the White-nest swiftlet, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.
Duoson is ranked 18,741st in the world and 360th in NationStates for Highest Poor Incomes, with 81,739.45 Standard Monetary Units.
