The Republic of Color 0x2F is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its vat-grown people, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.668 billion Color 0x2Fians 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 medium-sized, corrupt, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Administration, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.8%.

The frighteningly efficient Color 0x2Fian economy, worth a remarkable 1,450 trillion Bits 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, broadly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Woodchip Exports. 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 an impressive 167,321 Bits, with the richest citizens earning 7.7 times as much as the poorest.

The new Refuse Hills housing development is under construction, prosecutors are tucked into bed by the household police officer, the nation's streets have become a winter wonderland of salt and sand, and holy matrimony has been wedded to an unwieldy bureaucracy. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Color 0x2F's national animal is the Parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Color 0x2F is ranked 87,386^th in the world and 297^th in junk for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 1,541.17 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
