The Republic of Codename26 is a titanic, orderly nation, notable for its frequent executions, pith helmet sales, and suspicion of poets. The hard-nosed, cynical, devout population of 16.301 billion Codename26ians 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 medium-sized government juggles the competing demands of Administration, Law & Order, and Defense. The average income tax rate is 49.0%.

The Codename26ian economy, worth 759 trillion francs a year, is dominated by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with significant contributions from Uranium Mining, Book Publishing, and Furniture Restoration. Black market activity is notable. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 46,581 francs, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 3.2 times as much as the poorest.

Giggling teens are asked to put their mouths on rubber dolls, money that should have gone to charities is instead spent on monitoring them, maximum security fish farms leave caged salmon pining for the fjords, and access to the woods is only granted to those who bring a small shrubbery. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a very well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename26's national animal is the parrot, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to toxic air pollution.

Codename26 is ranked 178,856^th in the world and 2^nd in Orsa for Largest Trout Fishing Sector, scoring 818.44 on the Nemo Depletion Efficiency Index.
