The Device Control 4 of 0x14 is a colossal, efficient nation, ruled by Isaac Asimov with an iron fist, and renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, frequent executions, and public floggings. The hard-nosed, cynical, humorless, devout population of 8.455 billion 0x14ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Industry, and Administration. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Port 443. The average income tax rate is 41.5%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The all-consuming 0x14ian economy, worth 800 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 slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Woodchip Exports, Retail, 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 94,719 bytes, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.6 times as much as the poorest.

50% of adverts on children's television are for clothes made of cotton wool, the nation is experiencing a severe shortage of sporting events, the nation is constantly threatened with invasion but at least homosexuality in the military isn't a problem, and open-heart surgery is taught in seminaries. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. 0x14's national animal is the RAM, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

0x14 is ranked 43,041^st in the world and 10^th in Bytes for Lowest Crime Rates, with 76.47 law-abiding acts per hour.
