The Republic of Codename39 is a titanic, orderly nation, renowned for its free-roaming dinosaurs, pith helmet sales, and frequent executions. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 15.855 billion Codename39ians are kept under strict control by the oppressive government, which measures its success by the nation's GDP and refers to individual citizens as "human resources."

The large, corrupt, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Defense, Administration, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 48.8%.

The strong Codename39ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,116 trillion francs a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a large, well-organized black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Woodchip Exports, and Door-to-door Insurance Sales. 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 70,387 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 4.9 times as much as the poorest.

Male med students learning female anatomy do so with their eyes tightly closed, murderers frequently escape punishment by claiming they were protecting their honour, exorbitant spending on icebreakers breaks the ice at every budget meeting, and looting and pillaging are now considered vital intelligence-gathering activities. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename39's national animal is the emu, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Codename39 is ranked 252,810^th in the world and 3^rd in ice cream social for Most Accessible, scoring 197.84 on the Keller-Reeve Index.
