The United Socialist States of 0x7b is a colossal, safe nation, notable for its digital currency. The hard-working population of 7.739 billion 0x7bians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Public Transport, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 21.2%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The 0x7bian economy, worth 316 trillion bytes a year, is led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Furniture Restoration, and Gambling. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 40,875 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Kids are exceptionally good at digging holes, the examiners who examine examiners are being examined by examiners, it's a hard-knock life for the orphans doing factory work for a pittance, and brains have been removed from lists of best brain foods. Crime, especially youth-related, is well under control, thanks to a capable police force. 0x7b's national animal is the RAM, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.

0x7b is ranked 179,351^st in the world and 159^th in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 58.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
