The Bell of 0x07 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Tux with an even hand, and renowned for its enslaved workforce, ritual sacrifices, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.474 billion 0x07ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Industry, and Law & Order. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. The average income tax rate is 43.7%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 0x07ian economy, worth 815 trillion bytes 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, Furniture Restoration, 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 96,286 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians are often found scavenging bins at night to supplement their income, the government enforces a policy of 'from each according to their ability, to each according to the available budget', government-funded marriage counseling is showing very limited success, and the nation's declaring that sharing nukes is caring. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x07's national animal is the RAM, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

0x07 is ranked 78,220th in the world and 31st in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 68.81 law-abiding acts per hour.
