The Ancient Technology of D049 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Jeff Lynne with an iron fist, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 13.096 billion Travelers 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, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Wilbury. The average income tax rate is 49.5%.
The frighteningly efficient Traveling economy, worth a remarkable 1,424 trillion Banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Uranium Mining, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 108,788 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.
Citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over D049, the nation has a strict 'no marauding undead' law (D049 has found 7 easter eggs), power stations shutting down at night has made bedtime reading tricky, and getting a blood transfusion from a Traveler entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime is a problem, with the police force struggling against a lack of funding and a high mortality rate. D049's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Zoroastrian.
D049 is ranked 315,714th in the world and 20th in Windows for Nicest Citizens, with 0.67 average smiles per day.
