The Dead of Winter of D044 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by The Byrds with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, smutty television, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 13.144 billion Jingles are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Tambourine. The average income tax rate is 69.6%.
The frighteningly efficient Jangly economy, worth a remarkable 1,602 trillion Banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Furniture Restoration, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 121,883 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.7 times as much as the poorest.
The jails are alive with the sound of birdsong, restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, burning yourself alive is not okay but starving and whipping yourself is fine, and former nobles are being issued new identities in the wake of the end of serfdom. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D044's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Ecclesiastes.
D044 is ranked 72,670th in the world and 17th in Windows for Smartest Citizens, with 38.9 quips per hour.
