The Socialist Republic of Duvniask is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Hanako Ikezawa with a fair hand, and renowned for its state-planned economy, keen interest in outer space, and multi-spousal wedding ceremonies. The compassionate, democratic, cheerful population of 25.461 billion Duvnians are free to do what they want with their own bodies, and vote for whomever they like in elections; if they go into business, however, they are regulated to within an inch of their lives.

The enormous, liberal, socially-minded, outspoken government prioritizes Education, although Industry, Environment, and Social Policy are also considered important, while Spirituality is ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Stregidar. The average income tax rate is 96.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Duvnian economy, worth a remarkable 4,440 trillion Ackuis a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector, which is quite specialized, is led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Information Technology, and Automobile Manufacturing. Average income is an impressive 174,412 Ackuis, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Increasing numbers of children in Duvniask have different eye and hair color to their supposed fathers, the military is on a massive recruiting drive in advance of an invasion of Brasilistan, ranchers are adept at mimicking wolf attacks, and troop transports blacken the sky as the military commences Operation Desert Ocean. Crime is totally unknown. Duvniask's national animal is the panda, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Duvniask is ranked 125,658^th in the world and 2,644^th in The North Pacific for Largest Gambling Industry, scoring 936.52 on the Kelly Criterion Productivity Index.
