The Hot Steaming Cup of D005 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Stevie with an iron fist, and renowned for its state-planned economy, complete lack of prisons, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.494 billion Wonders 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, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Superstition. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Wonderful economy, worth a remarkable 1,330 trillion Banks 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. 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 impressive 115,768 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 8.9 times as much as the poorest.

Flight attendants rip down curtains with revolutionary fervor, brave curators do battle with disorganised government libraries, muscular women are banned from competing in sporting competitions, and half-submerged and flooded seaside hotels are technically still next to the beach. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D005's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Superstition.

D005 is ranked 272,612th in the world and 48th in Windows for Highest Food Quality, scoring 6.65 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
