The Democratic Republic of 0x49 is a colossal, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and restrictive gun laws. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 7.707 billion 0x49ians 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, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Windows Help. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 30.3%.

The strong 0x49ian economy, worth 516 trillion bytes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Woodchip Exports industry, with major contributions from Gambling, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 66,952 bytes, but there is an enormous disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 364,380 per year while the poor average 6,320, a ratio of 57.7 to 1.

Citizens pray for sunshine so that they can use illicit sundials for timekeeping, most of the nation's wealthy aristocrats are dentists, corrupt industrial practices are spreading like a plague, and boys who even ask about cheerleading are placed on the Sex Offenders Register. Crime is moderate, possibly because it is difficult to make it through a day without breaking one of the country's many regulations. 0x49's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x49 is ranked 33,401st in the world and 88th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,306.27880286992 days.
