The Rogue Nation of 0x50 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, prohibition of alcohol, and zero percent divorce rate. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 7.733 billion 0x50ians 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, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Education, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Basic Multilingual Plane. The average income tax rate is 41.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The 0x50ian economy, worth 315 trillion bytes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Trout Farming, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 40,748 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Wealthy pranksters dump refuse on unsuspecting citizens from up high, the nation grinds to a halt on the anniversary of every marginally noteworthy event, government solves problems by tossing money at the nearest geek, and city budgets are spent entirely on supporting the town royalty. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x50's national animal is the RAM, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

0x50 is ranked 33,958th in the world and 98th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,299.339272589 days.
