The Device Control 3 of 0x13 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Alan Turing with an even hand, and notable for its enslaved workforce, multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, and compulsory military service. The hard-nosed, devout population of 8.412 billion 0x13ians 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 large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. The average income tax rate is 48.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The thriving 0x13ian economy, worth 587 trillion bytes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is rampant. Average income is 69,821 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

The country's famous rainforests are being bulldozed by the mining industry, Alan Turing claims to know what infants are thinking, a popular 0x13ian saying is 'wishing upon a fallen jet engine', and the government has declined to declare any particular religion as its 'official' one. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x13's national animal is the RAM, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Church of Emacs.

0x13 is ranked 138,400^th in the world and 103^rd in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.98 law-abiding acts per hour.
