The Republic of Codename23 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, notable for its keen interest in outer space, public floggings, and complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, cynical, devout population of 10.873 billion Codename23ians are ruled by a mostly-benevolent dictator, who grants the populace the freedom to live their own lives but watches carefully for anyone to slip up.
The relatively small government juggles the competing demands of Industry, Education, and Defense. Citizens pay a flat income tax of 9.2%.
The very strong Codename23ian economy, worth 342 trillion dollars a year, is quite specialized and dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Furniture Restoration, Retail, and Tourism. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 31,541 dollars, with the richest citizens earning 6.8 times as much as the poorest.
Orphans would rather live their life of luxury than be adopted by prospective parents, corporations claim the third ounce of any metal traded in a wicker-cone on the Sunday of a full moon as a charitable expense, murder victims' families receive windfall payouts when the murderers are executed, and eating kids as food has been enshrined in law. Crime is a serious problem. Codename23's national animal is the dolphin, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to heavy metals seepage into national waterways.
Codename23 is ranked 143,834th in the world and 1,848th in Artificial Solar System for Most Stationary, with 186.30892937332 days.
