The Incandescent Bright Ideas of D034 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Chet Baker with an iron fist, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, prohibition of alcohol, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 12.984 billion Ptangs 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 Education, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rimshot. The average income tax rate is 71.3%.

The frighteningly efficient Ptangian economy, worth a remarkable 1,470 trillion Banks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 113,225 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, a ban on unsolicited cold calling in all forms is in effect, pulling weeds is seen as a threat to national security, and rumor has it that Chet Baker has won three lotteries in a row. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D034's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Violet Vibes.

D034 is ranked 266,681^st in the world and 76^th in Windows for Most Patriotic, with 3.86 flags saluted per person per day.
