The Queendom of Code082 is a mammoth, pleasant nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, keen interest in outer space, and ritual sacrifices. The hard-nosed, hard-working, devout population of 9.812 billion Code082ians 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 government juggles the competing demands of Education, Defense, and Healthcare. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 39.3%.

The Code082ian economy, worth 356 trillion yen a year, is quite specialized and led by the Uranium Mining industry, with major contributions from Basket Weaving, Arms Manufacturing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 36,368 yen, with the richest citizens earning 6.6 times as much as the poorest.

Politicians who vacation in East Lebatuck lose their jobs upon their return, the Code082 City Pride Parade's head banner explains how unionizing is heteronormative, obstetricians are not allowed to publish ultrasound pictures of fetuses in medical journals, and fake designer clothes are shredded and burnt while many in the world don't have a shirt on their back. Crime is a problem. Code082's national animal is the Klaxosaur, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Code082 is ranked 109,580^th in the world and 6^th in thundria for Largest Manufacturing Sector, scoring 10,808.54 on the Gooback-Jerbs Productivity Index.
