The Holy Smoke Wall of D012 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Donna Summer with an iron fist, and notable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.566 billion Discoes 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 Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mirror Ball. The average income tax rate is 50.5%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Discoing economy, worth a remarkable 1,503 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 slick, highly efficient, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Tourism, 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 130,018 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

No one gossips with Donna Summer during diplomatic summits, agriculture is heavily subsidized by the government, soldiers stream their classified military operations live for millions of fans, and schoolchildren are taught to boo and hiss at Donna Summer's name. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D012's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Discotheque.

D012 is ranked 173,230th in the world and 66th in Windows for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring zero on the Clooney Contribution Index.
