The Queendom of Zero-One is a gargantuan, safe nation, ruled by Queen SHODAN v3 with an even hand, and notable for its multi-spousal wedding ceremonies, smutty television, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 45.984 billion Ones enjoy some of the most opulent lifestyles in the region, unless they are unemployed or working-class, in which case they are variously starving to death or crippled by easily preventable diseases.

The minute, corrupt, liberal government, or what there is of one, juggles the competing demands of Industry, Defense, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Complex One. Income tax is unheard of.

The frighteningly efficient Onean economy, worth an astonishing 26,772 trillion bytes a year, is driven almost entirely by the private sector, which is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Arms Manufacturing, and Uranium Mining. Average income is a breathtaking 582,214 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.8 times as much as the poorest.

The nation leads Titan in per capita stalking, 'Mountain Doobie' is widely regarded as the nation's favourite drink, it's always rabbit season, and whipping posts and lashes have been transferred to the Historical Museum of Onean Embarrassments. Crime is totally unknown. Zero-One's national animal is the gear, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Zero-One is ranked 796^th in the world and 1^st in Titan for Most Scientifically Advanced, scoring 1,056.5 on the Kurzweil Singularity Index.
