The Republic of The Duck Army Squadron 14 is a mammoth, efficient nation, renowned for its ritual sacrifices, compulsory military service, and absence of drug laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 5.165 billion Ducks are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 45.0%.

The all-consuming Duck economy, worth 500 trillion Duckcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 96,847 Duckcoins, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 333,973 per year while the poor average 20,558, a ratio of 16.2 to 1.

New "Worker's Strike" laws set out who is allowed to strike a worker, the nation's space program is doxxing the planet, hundreds of thousands of convicts work as slaves in The Duck Army Squadron 14's many privately-owned prisons, and a tax exemption has created a new hunger for octogenarian millionaires dating women 60 years their younger. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. The Duck Army Squadron 14's national animal is the Duck, which soars majestically through the nation's famously clear skies.

The Duck Army Squadron 14 is ranked 206,609^th in the world and 2^nd in Cardisdia for Highest Poor Incomes, with 20,558 Standard Monetary Units.
