The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and renowned for its anti-smoking policies, punitive income tax rates, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 30.172 billion Duracellians 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 large government juggles the competing demands of Education, Healthcare, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of New Super Mario City. The average income tax rate is 95.5%.

The frighteningly efficient Duracellian economy, worth a remarkable 5,830 trillion Yoshis a year, is led by the Tourism industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Book Publishing. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 193,239 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The "temporary replacement bus service" is now a permanent fixture, one little fight can find you movin' to be the fresh prince of Ilba, preschoolers outnumber veteran politicians in government, and picnickers are lucky if a few wasps are the only animals that trouble them. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duracell's national animal is the Tiger, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Sports and Video Games Religion.

Duracell is ranked 4,093^rd in the world and 103^rd in The East Pacific for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 10,387.3 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
