The Puppy Dog Tails of D023 is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Lilith with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, anti-smoking policies, and aversion to nipples. The hard-nosed population of 11.547 billion Succubi are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Succtanabus. The average income tax rate is 66.3%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Angelic economy, worth a remarkable 1,598 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, Retail, and Beef-Based Agriculture. 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 138,427 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.5 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, over a third of the seats in sports stadiums have been removed to make room for female-only commodes, a nickname of "Doctor Death" probably indicates a decorated war hero, and the relatives of suicide victims tend to be angry rather than sad. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D023's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kabbalah.

D023 is ranked 268,931st in the world and 91st in Windows for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring -7.98 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
