The Trippy Lennonesque Kitten of D029 is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Rudolph with an even hand, and notable for its fear of technology, keen interest in outer space, and parental licensing program. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 11.392 billion Lovers 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 Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Valentino. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 70.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Loving economy, worth a remarkable 1,311 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 a large, well-organized, fairly diversified black market in Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, Book Publishing, and Soda Sales. 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 115,163 Banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 327,849 per year while the poor average 32,276, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Old fossils give the tours at the parliamentary museum, asking 'does my bum look big in this?' leads to 30 hours of self-esteem classes, they who do not work shall not eat, and the government is denying reports that criminals injected with experimental drugs have turned into monstrous supervillains. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D029's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Love.

D029 is ranked 13,304th in the world and 30th in Windows for Most Stationary, with 1,909.17493784948 days.
