The Substitute of 0x1a is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Robert Moog with an iron fist, and remarkable for its suspicion of poets, complete absence of social welfare, and stringent health and safety legislation. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 8.207 billion 0x1ans are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."
The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Kernel space. The average income tax rate is 52.5%.
The powerhouse 0x1an economy, worth 695 trillion bytes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is rampant. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 84,691 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.6 times as much as the poorest.
Marketing departments of corporate giants compete to sponsor little league teams, the government maintains a Department of Skulduggery, the bonfire of the old paper records can be seen for miles around Kernel space, and tax evaders are regularly visited by agents of the 0x1a Blood Tithe. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x1a's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.
0x1a is ranked 28,981st in the world and 26th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,382.30596949028 days.
