The Form Feed of 0x0C is a colossal, cultured nation, ruled by Dennis Ritchie with an even hand, and remarkable for its barren, inhospitable landscape, enslaved workforce, and ban on automobiles. The hard-nosed, humorless population of 8.546 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, with Education, Law & Order, and Industry also on the agenda, while Defense receives no funds. 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 529 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 170,875^th in the world and 113^th in Bytes for Largest Publishing Industry, scoring 962.11 on the Bella Potter Productivity e-Index.
