The Hard Working Cartoons of D008 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chuck Berry with an iron fist, and remarkable for its aversion to nipples, infamous sell-swords, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 13.164 billion Rockers 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 government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhythm and Blues. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.
The frighteningly efficient Rocking economy, worth a remarkable 1,357 trillion Banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 103,100 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.
Rhythm And Blues River is now popularly called "Dead Fish Run", a violent scene on television results in mass mobilization of the National Guard, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D008's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rock and Roll Baby.
D008 is ranked 321,956th in the world and 43rd in Windows for Nicest Citizens, with 0.54 average smiles per day.
