The HolyWall of Death on a Match of D066 is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by The Great Pretender with an iron fist, and notable for its museums and concert halls, unlimited-speed roads, and ubiquitous missile silos. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 13.239 billion Pretenders are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of A World of My Own. The average income tax rate is 54.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Pretending economy, worth a remarkable 1,479 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, quite specialized black market in Information Technology, Retail, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 111,759 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Every workday begins with group therapy, soldiers on first dates introduce themselves only by their ranks and serial numbers, citizens can freely debate whether The Great Pretender is a great leader or the greatest leader, and schoolkids say that the air doesn't taste like wee-wee any more. Crime, especially youth-related, is relatively low. D066's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Pretense.

D066 is ranked 318,388th in the world and 30th in Windows for Nicest Citizens, with 0.61 average smiles per day.
