The Line Feed of 0x0A is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Ken Thompson with an even hand, and notable for its keen interest in outer space, digital currency, and compulsory gun ownership. The hard-nosed, hard-working, humorless population of 8.534 billion 0x0Aians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Law & Order, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. The average income tax rate is 46.3%.

The frighteningly efficient 0x0Aian economy, worth 707 trillion bytes a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Information Technology, Soda Sales, and Beef-Based Agriculture. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is 82,931 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.9 times as much as the poorest.

An underground movement of cigarette smokers has sprung up in response to a government ban, mall countdown clocks warn that there are only 364 more shopping days until Maxxmas, children often explain to their parents that the Mega Ultimate Sword Fist was worth the thousand-byte charge on their phone bill, and CEOs and corporate executives are frequently found striking for better stock options. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x0A's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation, and its national religion is Unix Philosophy.

0x0A is ranked 234,999th in the world and 209th in Bytes for Most Primitive, scoring -115.62 on the Scary Big Number Scale.
