The Virus Sprite of Hexidecimal is a mammoth, efficient nation, remarkable for its ritual sacrifices, strictly enforced bedtime, and unlimited-speed roads. The compassionate, hard-working, devout population of 8.496 billion Hexidecimalians have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it prioritizes Law & Order, although Industry, Administration, and Healthcare are also considered important, while Spirituality and Education are ignored. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 73.2%.

The thriving Hexidecimalian economy, worth 228 trillion bytes a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity. The industrial sector, which is highly specialized, is mostly made up of the Basket Weaving industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology and Uranium Mining. Average income is 26,843 bytes, with the richest citizens earning 7.3 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens receive notices of disenfranchisement along with their parking tickets, illicit spice trade makes desert merchants wrangling worms blush, forty-year-old men are asked for their ID before watching the latest pony cartoon movies, and politicians accost strangers in the street to ask their problems. Crime is a problem. Hexidecimal's national animal is the user, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Hexidecimal is ranked 255,625^th in the world and 3^rd in Basic Start for Highest Unexpected Death Rate, scoring 27.56 on the Bus Surprisal Index.
