The Allied States of 0x3c is a colossal, orderly nation, remarkable for its triple-decker prams, frequent executions, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless population of 7.854 billion 0x3cians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Root Home Directory. The average income tax rate is 42.4%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong 0x3cian economy, worth 497 trillion bytes a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Soda Sales, and Arms Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 63,299 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Scoutmasters debate whether luxury log cabins defeat the purpose of camping, it is illegal to comfort a crying baby between the hours of 6 pm and 8 pm, the nation is ravaged by daily union strikes, and it's not just poseurs who wear oversized sound-cancelling headphones as they walk the city streets. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x3c's national animal is the RAM, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

0x3c is ranked 31,780th in the world and 75th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,321.31149463788 days.
