The Automated Robotic Moonbase of D079 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Nebo Nehru with an iron fist, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, rampant corporate plagiarism, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 11.538 billion Nehis 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 large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of KneeHigh. The average income tax rate is 65.1%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Nehi economy, worth a remarkable 1,168 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 black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Retail. 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 101,252 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.0 times as much as the poorest.

Murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, citizens live in superstitious fear of the mysterious glowing clouds that float over D079, women don't report crimes to the emergency services for fear of being arrested, and recapturing giraffes is proving to be a tall order. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D079's national animal is the Cheetah, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Sodask.

D079 is ranked 106,346th in the world and 55th in Windows for Highest Foreign Aid Spending, scoring 193.39 on the Clooney Contribution Index.
