The Colony of DDG-008 is a huge, pleasant nation, notable for its burgeoning Elephant population. The quiet, industrious population of 402 million DDG-008ians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 28.1%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The DDG-008ian economy, worth 14.3 trillion oils a year, is led by the Basket Weaving industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 35,586 oils, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Crime is relatively low, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. DDG-008's national animal is the Elephant.
