The ---------------------------- of 0x2d is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its avant-garde cinema, zero percent divorce rate, and disturbing lack of elderly people. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 8.105 billion 0x2dians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The large, corrupt, socially-minded, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of vmlinuz. The average income tax rate is 59.4%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving 0x2dian economy, worth 634 trillion bytes 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 Tourism, Beef-Based Agriculture, Furniture Restoration, and Uranium Mining. 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 78,247 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Hand-to-hand combat experience is udderly essential for all dairy ranchers, 0x2dian farm salmon are known for being both horribly diseased and remarkably acrobatic, they say that Leader's personal computer is full of naked pictures of the Emperor of Maxtopia, and the endangered saltwater humpback RAM is only seen in captivity programs. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x2d's national animal is the RAM, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

0x2d is ranked 141,665^th in the world and 101^st in Bytes for Safest, scoring 63.91 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
