The Hard Working Cartoons of D008 is a gargantuan, efficient nation, ruled by Chuck Berry with an iron fist, and notable for its aversion to nipples, unlimited-speed roads, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical population of 11.438 billion Rockers are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Rhythm and Blues. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 48.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Rocking economy, worth a remarkable 1,179 trillion Banks a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Retail industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Information Technology. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 103,100 Banks, with the richest citizens earning 8.1 times as much as the poorest.

Rhythm And Blues River is now popularly called "Dead Fish Run", a violent scene on television results in mass mobilization of the National Guard, the hit new medical TV show "Home" prominently features the brand of painkiller the lead doctor is addicted to, and the nation's atlases tend to go out of date every few weeks. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D008's national animal is the Cheetah, which is also the nation's favorite main course, and its national religion is Rock and Roll Baby.

D008 is ranked 110,971^st in the world and 73^rd in Windows for Lowest Crime Rates, with 64.58 law-abiding acts per hour.
