The Republic of Color 0x2C is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its public floggings, zero percent divorce rate, and punitive income tax rates. The hard-nosed, humorless, devout population of 8.556 billion Color 0x2Cians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 57.0%.

The frighteningly efficient Color 0x2Cian economy, worth a remarkable 1,455 trillion Bits 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 an enormous, deeply entrenched, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Soda Sales. 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 an impressive 170,171 Bits, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 555,341 per year while the poor average 39,227, a ratio of 14.2 to 1.

The government single-handedly sustains the bunk bed market, jaw strain is an increasingly common ailment, visitors to Color 0x2C are microchipped and must be escorted by a Color 0x2Cian soldier - even to the bathroom, and the armed forces are locked in an expensive and bloody war abroad to stamp out possible terrorists. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Color 0x2C's national animal is the Parrot, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Color 0x2C is ranked 298,982^nd in the world and 541^st in junk for Most Cultured, scoring 46 on the Snufflebottom-Wiggendum Pentatonic Scale.
