e pluribus unum is not the riddle. It is just the title. The riddle is the text string above the country question.  
 
It means something, and that something comes from a particular country.

Thinking Hex, A1141 & 14A11 = 00001 = 1
 
Now, '1' is the international access code of USA, so maybe it is the US?
