The Federal Democratic Empire of Codyn is a massive, safe nation, ruled by Em eleição with an even hand, and renowned for its rum-swilling pirates, digital currency, and infamous sell-swords. The compassionate, hard-working population of 4.782 billion Codynianos are either ruled by a sleek, efficient government or a conglomerate of multinational corporations; it's difficult to tell which.

The medium-sized, corrupt, pro-business government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Education, and Industry. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Codyberg. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 50.4%.

The frighteningly efficient Codyniano economy, worth 674 trillion Euros a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Tourism industry, with major contributions from Book Publishing, Retail, and Information Technology. Black market activity is frequent. Average income is an impressive 140,966 Euros, but there is a significant disparity between incomes, with the richest 10% of citizens earning 401,305 per year while the poor average 39,508, a ratio of 10.2 to 1.

Many suspect the government "doth protest too much" with their curiously specific denials of conspiracy theories, criminals tell the police where their jurisdiction ends, record sales of 'child-whacking sticks' have been reported, and the official Codyniano Phrase Book weighs as much as a small child. Crime is totally unknown. Codyn's national animal is the Capivara, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its national religion is Cristianismo.

Codyn is ranked 120,186^th in the world and 88^th in Portugal for Most Valuable International Artwork, with zero Bank.
