The Not the First TCM Puppet of 0x31 is a colossal, orderly nation, notable for its ubiquitous missile silos, avowedly heterosexual populace, and complete lack of prisons. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 8.086 billion 0x31ians 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 medium-sized, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 25.8%.

The very strong 0x31ian economy, worth 357 trillion bytes a year, is quite specialized and led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Automobile Manufacturing, Arms Manufacturing, and Information Technology. Black market activity is extensive. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 44,185 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.0 times as much as the poorest.

Drive-by spoilers are an increasingly common crime, the nation's most "productive" diamond mine hasn't been operational for seven months, most citizens in 0x31 are abject pyrophobes after extremely graphic pamphlets were mailed nationwide by the government, and getting a blood transfusion from a 0x31ian entitles a foreigner to citizenship. Crime is a major problem, perhaps because of the country's complete lack of prisons. 0x31's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x31 is ranked 264,731^st in the world and 173^rd in Bytes for Highest Food Quality, scoring 7.04 on the Meeshlin-Starr Index.
