The Caffeinated Queendom of Byte is a colossal, pleasant nation, remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, complete absence of social welfare, and spontaneously combusting cars. The hard-working, democratic population of 4.057 billion Byteans are effectively ruled by a group of massive corporations, who run for political office and provide their well-off citizens with world-class goods and services. Their poorer citizens, however, are mostly starving to death while being urged to go out and get real jobs. The populace has reasonably extensive civil rights, although these are mostly aimed at allowing them to buy whatever they like.

The minute, pro-business, outspoken government, or what there is of one, prioritizes Education, although Public Transport and Defense are also considered important, while International Aid and Healthcare receive no funds. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 4.6%.

The strong Bytean economy, worth 193 trillion Datas a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is fairly diversified and led by the Gambling industry, with significant contributions from Basket Weaving, Soda Sales, and Furniture Restoration. Average income is 47,673 Datas, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 275,065 per year while the poor average 3,949, a ratio of 69.7 to 1.

Citizens are enjoying a recent large cut in taxes and citizens are barcoded to keep track of their movements. Crime is a serious problem, probably because of the absence of a police force. Byte's national animal is the Cat, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Byte is ranked 8,583^rd in the world and 1^st in Zodiac for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 116.93 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
