The Holy Max Headroom of D089 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, ruled by Ozymandius with an iron fist, and notable for its parental licensing program, prohibition of alcohol, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 11.289 billion Watchmen 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 Law & Order, Defense, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Watchtower. The average income tax rate is 70.8%.

The all-consuming Watching economy, worth a remarkable 1,143 trillion Banks a year, is quite specialized and led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, and Uranium Mining. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is an impressive 101,315 Banks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

Nocturnal light pollution is mostly blue, textbooks are exactly twice as heavy as they used to be, insanely good theatre productions face government censorship, and the "boy who cried wolf" policy makes sick people reluctant to call an ambulance. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. D089's national animal is the Cheetah, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Kings of Old.

D089 is ranked 13,376th in the world and 90th in Windows for Most Stationary, with 1,907.8032234496 days.
