The Three Coins in a Fountain of D053 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Bmongo with an iron fist, and renowned for its deadly medical pandemics, keen interest in outer space, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.47 billion Bdangas are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Bdangaville. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 72.6%.

The frighteningly efficient Bdangish economy, worth a remarkable 1,337 trillion Banks a year, is led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is an impressive 116,635 Banks, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 354,678 per year while the poor average 29,787, a ratio of 11.9 to 1.

Anything is permissible when wearing latex gloves, Bmongo has been seen stealthily slicing fifths off bread loaves, criminals lock themselves in their mums' basements to avoid prison, and young children are learning advanced physics to scientifically disprove the existence of Santa Claus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D053's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is BdingoBdango.

D053 is ranked 271,707th in the world and 45th in Windows for Nicest Citizens, with 0.54 average smiles per day.
