The Data Link Escape of 0x10 is a colossal, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by Robert Kahn with an iron fist, and renowned for its ritual sacrifices, keen interest in outer space, and daily referendums. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.311 billion 0x10ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of The Stack. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 64.4%.

The frighteningly efficient 0x10ian economy, worth 869 trillion bytes a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Tourism, and Book Publishing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is an impressive 104,575 bytes, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 335,811 per year while the poor average 24,684, a ratio of 13.6 to 1.

Translators have been hired to deal with the varying regional accents during national political debates, sermons are regularly interrupted by businessmen taking phone calls, teachers prefer to give 'Maybe, Maybe Not' tests when dealing with sensitive subjects, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x10's national animal is the RAM, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

0x10 is ranked 27,898th in the world and 17th in Bytes for Most Stationary, with 1,405.1816006832 days.
