The Form Feed of 0x0C is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dennis Ritchie with an even hand, and notable for its rum-swilling pirates, state-planned economy, and fear of technology. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.482 billion 0x0Cians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic government is primarily concerned with Administration, although Education, Law & Order, and Industry are also considered important, while Defense isn't funded at all. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 27.5%.

The very strong 0x0Cian economy, worth 525 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, quite specialized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Basket Weaving, Woodchip Exports, and Information Technology. 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 61,908 bytes, with the richest citizens earning 5.5 times as much as the poorest.

Every worker receives exactly the same pay regardless of productivity, the nation's leader is normally just referred to as "snuggle-wuggle-huggy-bear", colonial subjects have 0x0Cian culture shoved down their throats, and it is illegal to brush crumbs off your clothing outdoors. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x0C's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x0C is ranked 93,944^th in the world and 52^nd in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 66.63 law-abiding acts per hour.
