The 25 Percent Real Puppet of 0x25 is a colossal, efficient nation, notable for its state-planned economy, sprawling nuclear power plants, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 8.012 billion 0x25ians are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich. In their personal lives, however, citizens are relatively unoppressed; it remains to be seen whether this is because the government genuinely cares about its people, or if it hasn't gotten around to stamping out civil rights yet.

The medium-sized, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Industry, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Star City. The average income tax rate is 53.3%.

The all-consuming 0x25ian economy, worth 744 trillion Processor Cycles 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 a slick, highly efficient black market in Arms Manufacturing, Tourism, Book Publishing, and Retail. 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 92,945 Processor Cycles, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.1 times as much as the poorest.

A spate of enforced closures has left 'Government FM' as the nation's only radio station, the military has declared war on all religious influence, scenic tours are unheard of after most environmental laws were abolished, and the people's love for Leader is little more than self-preservation. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x25's national animal is the Process, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

0x25 is ranked 30,129th in the world and 47th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,348.38794258672 days.
