The Device Control 2 of 0x12 is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Richard Daystrom with an iron fist, and remarkable for its ubiquitous missile silos, zero percent divorce rate, and smutty television. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, humorless population of 8.31 billion 0x12ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized 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. The average income tax rate is 74.6%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient 0x12ian economy, worth 898 trillion bytes a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Basket Weaving. Black market activity is extensive. Average income is an impressive 108,172 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.8 times as much as the poorest.

Programmes of questionable content are shown at peak-hours, cheap and tasteless vegetables flood the markets, religious education is a new government priority, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x12's national animal is the RAM, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

0x12 is ranked 27,895th in the world and 19th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,406.1792042114 days.
