The Queendom of Code062 is a mammoth, environmentally stunning nation, renowned for its compulsory military service, punitive income tax rates, and suspicion of poets. The quiet, industrious population of 9.735 billion Code062ians are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The large, socially-minded government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Healthcare. The average income tax rate is 52.7%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The large but underdeveloped Code062ian economy, worth 268 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with significant contributions from Retail, Beef-Based Agriculture, and Pizza Delivery. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 27,547 yen, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The Treasury Minister takes anxiety medication every time kids lose their sports kits, back-alley circumcision clinics are popping up all over the nation, a National Academy regulates grammar and usage, and prisons are filled with the cackles and sobs of a deranged inmate population. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code062's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Code062 is ranked 183,016^th in the world and 2^nd in The hyphenistans for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring zero on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
