The Vertical Tab of 0x0B is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Lawrence Lessig with an even hand, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, compulsory military service, and avant-garde cinema. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.315 billion 0x0Bians 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, Law & Order, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 61.7%.

The frighteningly efficient 0x0Bian economy, worth 755 trillion bytes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is 90,805 bytes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 256,323 per year while the poor average 25,750, a ratio of 10.0 to 1.

In government offices a hidden killer takes the lives of ministers and civil servants, the welfare administration's new sweeping authority has forced the poor and needy to shop from pre-approved grocery lists, the government is a law unto itself, and the government's official stance on religion is that it is so very silly. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x0B's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x0B is ranked 27,830th in the world and 10th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,407.4114950894 days.
