The Republic of D DLC Z is a massive, safe nation, notable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ban on automobiles, and compulsory gun ownership. The quiet, industrious population of 1.474 billion D DLC Zians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Education. The average income tax rate is 34.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The D DLC Zian economy, worth 70.8 trillion bitcoins a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Retail, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,020 bitcoins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Restaurateurs put a lot of effort into persuading customers to accept wafer-thin mints, the free market's hand is quite visible, a major religion has been named as D DLC Z's national religion, and Leader has just been declared ruler of D DLC Z in an international press conference. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D DLC Z's national animal is the panther, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

D DLC Z is ranked 240,647^th in the world and 875^th in Concord for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 28.85 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
