The Merry Moonbase of D009 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Gary Glitter with an iron fist, and remarkable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and free-roaming dinosaurs. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.517 billion Mansons are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of RocknRollville. The average income tax rate is 59.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Mansonite economy, worth a remarkable 1,501 trillion Banks a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Retail. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 130,409 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians can't accept birthday presents from their own children, the nation's diplomatic missives are now delivered via sniper rifle, foreign leaders are advising that Gary Glitter's letters must have gotten lost in the mail, and the transit system is throwing poor people under the bus. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D009's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Chaos.

D009 is ranked 44,864^th in the world and 16^th in Windows for Lowest Crime Rates, with 75.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
