The Jolly Leaping Tortoises of D070 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Vernon Wormer with an even hand, and notable for its parental licensing program, public floggings, and prohibition of alcohol. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 11.586 billion Vermins are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Underworld. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Verminish economy, worth a remarkable 1,373 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 Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, 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 118,568 Banks, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Military spending is on the increase, politicians bribe ten-year-old geniuses to sit their aptitude tests, the government tries not to listen to the people unless it absolutely has to, and rumor has it that Vernon Wormer has won three lotteries in a row. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D070's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Ratatouille.

D070 is ranked 8,443rd in the world and 4th in Windows for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 2,016.95 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
