The Republic of Codename33 is a titanic, safe nation, renowned for its barren, inhospitable landscape, ubiquitous missile silos, and keen interest in outer space. The hard-nosed population of 16.2 billion Codename33ians 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 Industry, Defense, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 37.0%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The powerhouse Codename33ian economy, worth a remarkable 1,251 trillion florins a year, is fairly diversified and dominated by the Information Technology industry, with significant contributions from Door-to-door Insurance Sales, Woodchip Exports, and Automobile Manufacturing. Black market activity is frequent. State-owned companies are reasonably common. Average income is 77,250 florins, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.3 times as much as the poorest.

Grazing lands are filled with cattle wearing odd-looking anti-pollution devices, a rolling news ticker tape of disclaimers runs across the bottom of the screen on all TV shows, sneezing pedestrians are grabbed by alley-lurking doctors, and Codename33ian dissenters are begging human rights groups to ignore them. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename33's national animal is the bison, which teeters on the brink of extinction due to widespread deforestation.

Codename33 is ranked 3,456^th in the world and 6^th in Artificial Solar System for Largest Insurance Industry, scoring 7,100.86 on the Risk Expulsion Effectiveness Rating.
