The Elite Soldiers of Duck Army is a massive, pleasant nation, ruled by Warden Ducky with a fair hand, and notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, disturbing lack of elderly people, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic, devout population of 3.418 billion Duck Army are known throughout the region for their efficiency and work ethic, as well as their general suspicion of leisure.

The relatively small, moralistic, outspoken government prioritizes Defense, although Education, Law & Order, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Public Transport is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duckland. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 10.8%.

The strong Duck economy, worth 226 trillion Duckcoins a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Furniture Restoration, Book Publishing, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,378 Duckcoins, with the richest citizens earning 5.8 times as much as the poorest.

Governments opposing Duck Army are beset by rebels, tourists flock to see the giant stone carvings of historical leaders at Mount Rushless, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, and retiring citizens are dragged away in the middle of the night by mysterious men in black suits. Crime, especially youth-related, is almost non-existent, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Duck Army's national animal is the Duck, which can occasionally be seen dodging aircraft in the nation's cities, and its national religion is Duckism.

Duck Army is ranked 38,231st in the world and 192nd in Artificial Solar System for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 59,210 Standard Monetary Units.
