The Yao Ming Dynasty Republic of Duracell is a gargantuan, genial nation, ruled by Mario Yoshi Yao Ming Jeremy Lin III with an even hand, and renowned for its complete lack of prisons, public floggings, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, cheerful, devout population of 30.045 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 5,788 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 192,650 Yoshis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Welfare recipients frequently parlay checks into homelessness, sailors spend their shore leave helping old ladies cross the street, the government guarantees extra-soft tissues to fire-snorting elephants, and Scrabble champions have been left scrambling for scraps. 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 44,465^th in the world and 274^th in The East Pacific for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 22,117.74 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
