The Directionless Anarchy of Duchy of Personal Freedoms is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Glorious Leader with an even hand, and notable for its complete lack of prisons, ritual sacrifices, and unlimited-speed roads. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, humorless population of 28.383 billion Free Citizens enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The relatively small, corrupt government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Education, Administration, and Industry are also considered important, while Welfare and Social Policy receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Impressive Lair. The average income tax rate is 3.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Personally Free economy, worth a remarkable 7,930 trillion Fiat Ducks a year, is broadly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture, Information Technology, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an amazing 279,395 Fiat Ducks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.4 times as much as the poorest.

Mantis shrimp studies is academia's fastest-growing field, bins outnumber trees in city parks, old people living in plastic bubbles complain about a new type of social isolation, and witnesses have to run a gauntlet of mob enforcers to testify at trials. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown. Duchy of Personal Freedoms's national animal is the Quacky Duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Worship of the Glorious Leader.

Duchy of Personal Freedoms is ranked 309,513th in the world and 12,461st in Osiris for Most Primitive, scoring -461.79 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
