The Queendom of Code022 is a massive, pleasant nation, remarkable for its closed borders, keen interest in outer space, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed population of 4.867 billion Code022ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.
The medium-sized, moralistic, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Industry. The average income tax rate is 28.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The Code022ian economy, worth 235 trillion yen a year, is led by the Information Technology industry, with major contributions from Uranium Mining, Retail, and Cheese Exports. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 48,372 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.
Families waiting for delayed pipe installations hope daily for rain, drug deals return to the streets as legions of undercover officers stalk the dark web, suit-clad businessmen have been taking advantage of the relaxed welfare qualifications by shopping with food stamps, and East Lebatuckese astronauts' favorite game during downtime on the Multinational Space Station is 'I Spy'. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code022's national animal is the black widow, which can occasionally be seen sifting through garbage in the nation's cities.
Code022 is ranked 143,525th in the world and 1,557th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 61.56 law-abiding acts per hour.
