The Republic of Codska is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Cody with a fair hand, and remarkable for its pith helmet sales, compulsory military service, and ban on automobiles. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.776 billion Codskans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Defense. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Fran. The average income tax rate is 65.0%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The very strong Codskan economy, worth 376 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 78,806 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, the sun rises an hour later on border communities, almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codska's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Codska is ranked 114,196^th in the world and 2,590^th in The North Pacific for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 1,677.76 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
