The Republic of Codename55 is a gargantuan, orderly nation, renowned for its soft-spoken computers, keen interest in outer space, and devotion to social welfare. The hard-nosed, cynical population of 11.014 billion Codename55ians are ruled without fear or favor by a psychotic dictator, who outlaws just about everything and refers to the populace as "my little playthings."

The medium-sized, corrupt, moralistic, well-organized government juggles the competing demands of Law & Order, Defense, and Education. The average income tax rate is 31.9%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The Codename55ian economy, worth 656 trillion pesos a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. However, for those in the know, there is a slick, highly efficient, fairly diversified black market in Arms Manufacturing, Information Technology, Door-to-door Insurance Sales, and Uranium Mining. The private sector mostly consists of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, but the government is looking at stamping this out. Average income is 59,587 pesos, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.2 times as much as the poorest.

Prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, frequent fliers are obliged to submit to invasive security procedures by government security, years of counter-terrorism planning are foiled by small details, and children are terrified that the 'flying police monster' will come to take them away in the night. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codename55's national animal is the cow, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Codename55 is ranked 69,306^th in the world and 328^th in Artificial Solar System for Lowest Crime Rates, with 70.17 law-abiding acts per hour.
