OverviewPoliciesPeopleGovernmentEconomyRankTrendCards

The Governor of Codrington is a gargantuan, cultured nation, ruled by Leader with an iron fist, and remarkable for its infamous sell-swords, strictly enforced bedtime, and restrictive gun laws. The compassionate, cynical, humorless population of 30.608 billion Codringtonians 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, socially-minded government prioritizes Education, with Administration, Environment, and Industry also on the agenda, while Spirituality and Law & Order receive no funds. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codrington. The average income tax rate is 49.3%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The frighteningly efficient Codringtonian economy, worth a remarkable 2,677 trillion east carribean dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is an enormous, deeply entrenched, broadly diversified black market in Book Publishing. 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 87,482 east carribean dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Getting an autograph has become harder than ever, drill sergeants yell in the ears of bespectacled nerds in cybermilitary "reboot camps", nothing gets the party jumping like Leader specifying how high, and victims of limb-mauling industrial accidents are told to keep working with their remaining hand. Crime, especially youth-related, is pervasive, probably because of the absence of a police force. Codrington's national animal is the lion, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Codrington is ranked 233,578th in the world and 7,273rd in Lazarus for Most Stationary, with 23.21257542172 days.
