The Sparkling Silver Martinis of D057 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Glenn Frey with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and infamous sell-swords. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 13.187 billion Cheaters 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 Education, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Lying Eyes. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.7%.

The frighteningly efficient Cheating economy, worth a remarkable 1,386 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, fairly diversified black market in Tourism, Cheese Exports, Woodchip Exports, and Trout Farming. 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 105,151 Banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 318,790 per year while the poor average 26,970, a ratio of 11.8 to 1.

Soldiers who shoot themselves in the foot are regarded as heroes, the fishing lobby has stemmed the tide of environmental regulations, older citizens lament over the loss of law and order, and Glenn Frey's new door-knocking campaign has the sweet taste of success. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D057's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Spread Eagle.

D057 is ranked 326,697th in the world and 87th in Windows for Nicest Citizens, with 0.44 average smiles per day.
