The Dancing Skellingtons of D014 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Carly with an even hand, and remarkable for its vat-grown people, infamous sell-swords, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.47 billion Vanities are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Narcissa. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Vain economy, worth a remarkable 1,545 trillion Banks a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 134,778 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

Students do more community service than homework, reflection is vital for badly behaved politicians, government buildings are being cleansed of anything that might have racist connotations, and the government expresses surprisingly intense opinions on the use of whip pans. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, despite the fact that it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many laws. D014's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Vanity.

D014 is ranked 141,717th in the world and 88th in Windows for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.72 law-abiding acts per hour.
