The Horizontal Tab of 0x09 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Linus Tech Tips with an even hand, and notable for its pith helmet sales, state-planned economy, and flagrant waste-dumping. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.359 billion 0x09ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, corrupt government prioritizes Defense, with Administration, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Public Transport receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. The average income tax rate is 69.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 0x09ian economy, worth 748 trillion bytes 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 large, well-organized black market in Information Technology, Soda Sales, Uranium Mining, and Pizza Delivery. 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 89,525 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.1 times as much as the poorest.

Parents must choose their children's names from a government-mandated master list, urban parents tell their children that the family car went to a farm upstate, voting for pro-Bigtopian candidates is voluntary, and nuclear physics is the most popular course at university. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x09's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x09 is ranked 27,835th in the world and 15th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,407.41109925632 days.
