The Lucky Paper Hearts of D084 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Crabbe with an even hand, and renowned for its soft-spoken computers, triple-decker prams, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working population of 11.304 billion Bustards 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Ramjet. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 68.2%.

The frighteningly efficient Bussed economy, worth a remarkable 1,417 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 Woodchip Exports, Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Uranium Mining. 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 125,432 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 7.4 times as much as the poorest.

Strange looking men with big red noses are found hiding behind bushes and inside dustbins, basic multiplication is all you need to know to have a child, kids refer to anything below the neck as "the parts that shall not be named", and politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D084's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ming Worship.

D084 is ranked 13,363rd in the world and 85th in Windows for Most Stationary, with 1,908.43400776812 days.
