The Armed Republic of Knowwear in Youtopia is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Darkwing Duck with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, ubiquitous missile silos, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless, devout population of 28.998 billion Knowwear in Youtopians 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 relatively small, corrupt, well-organized government is primarily concerned with Defense, although Law & Order and Spirituality are also considered important, while Welfare and Environment are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Duck City. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 6.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Knowwear in Youtopian economy, worth an astonishing 12,835 trillion deutsche marks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Basket Weaving. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is an amazing 442,638 deutsche marks, but there is a large disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 1,943,928 per year while the poor average 63,373, a ratio of 30.7 to 1.

Charity no longer begins at home, political visitors are forced to stop ten paces from Darkwing Duck's throne, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Knowwear in Youtopians, and cities in Knowwear in Youtopia declare independence based on interpretation of the historic meaning of cave paintings. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force. Knowwear in Youtopia's national animal is the duck, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Duckism.

Knowwear in Youtopia is ranked 14,279th in the world and 219th in the Rejected Realms for Most Stationary, with 1,824.1517144866 days.
