The Queendom of Code038 is a titanic, environmentally stunning nation, notable for its parental licensing program, frequent executions, and irreverence towards religion. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 10.227 billion Code038ians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 31.7%.

The strong Code038ian economy, worth 656 trillion yen a year, is broadly diversified and led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Furniture Restoration, and Information Technology. Average income is 64,130 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Cane fights are a common sight in nursing homes, the government officially wants you to slow down and speak more clearly, tipsy fans frequently invite themselves to the board meetings of sports clubs, and the Code038ian Intelligence Agency has put 'Project Quantum Refrigerator' on hold indefinitely. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code038's national animal is the black widow, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Code038 is ranked 132,612^th in the world and 655^th in Artificial Solar System for Most Extensive Public Healthcare, scoring 1,307.96 on the Theresa-Nightingale Rating.
