The Queendom of Code044 is a mammoth, genial nation, notable for its pith helmet sales and suspicion of poets. The compassionate, democratic population of 9.595 billion Code044ians 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 Defense, Administration, and Welfare. The average income tax rate is 34.6%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Code044ian economy, worth 464 trillion yen a year, is fairly diversified and led by the Beef-Based Agriculture industry, with major contributions from Woodchip Exports, Uranium Mining, and Retail. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 48,462 yen, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.9 times as much as the poorest.

Urban graffiti is hand-calligraphed in perfectly kerned elegant fonts, courses in how to boil water are popular for formerly microwave-reliant Code044ians, immersive video game experiences are interrupted by incessant disclaimer pop-ups, and funeral directors are frequently looking at their watches during funerals. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Code044's national animal is the black widow.

Code044 is ranked 190,053^rd in the world and 884^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Information Technology Sector, scoring 1,728.07 on the Fann-Boi Productivity Index.
