The Republic of Codename16 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its compulsory military service, ubiquitous missile silos, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 11.071 billion Codename16ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Law & Order, and Education. The average income tax rate is 26.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.
The strong Codename16ian economy, worth 753 trillion kronor a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Tourism, Retail, and Trout Farming. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 68,089 kronor, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.
It's never "just a game" with Codename16ian sports fans, eating kids as food has been enshrined in law, the nation's soldiers often believe they're in the Air Force, and phone taps are frequently carried out by the police. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename16's national animal is the beaver.
Codename16 is ranked 131,959th in the world and 1,745th in Artificial Solar System for Most Beautiful Environments, with 527.19 pounds of wildlife per square mile.
