The Sad Dying Replicants of D004 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Riddick with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, sprawling nuclear power plants, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless, devout population of 11.423 billion Furies are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Helion Prime. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 67.9%.

The frighteningly efficient Furian economy, worth a remarkable 1,268 trillion Banks a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 111,067 Banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 326,372 per year while the poor average 29,777, a ratio of 11.0 to 1.

There's more pink stuff on sale these days, no one gossips with Riddick during diplomatic summits, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, and goldfish bowls are three metres in diameter. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D004's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Necromungry.

D004 is ranked 156,532^nd in the world and 78^th in Windows for Highest Disposable Incomes, with 35,652.6 Standard Monetary Units.
