The Republic of Codska is a massive, socially progressive nation, ruled by Sir Cody with a fair hand, and renowned for its frequent executions, compulsory military service, and devotion to social welfare. The compassionate, democratic population of 4.871 billion Codskans enjoy a sensible mix of personal and economic freedoms, while the political process is open and the people's right to vote held sacrosanct.

The large government juggles the competing demands of Healthcare, Administration, and Education. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Saint Fran. The average income tax rate is 66.8%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The thriving Codskan economy, worth 369 trillion Dollars a year, is led by the Arms Manufacturing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Cheese Exports, and Tourism. State-owned companies are common. Average income is 75,803 Dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with little difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

The tinfoil-hat crowd also recommend tinfoil wallets, the sun rises an hour later on border communities, almost every singles' party has a clergy and courtesans theme, and birds and children's kites are regularly brought down by anti-aircraft fire. Crime, especially youth-related, is totally unknown, thanks to a capable police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Codska's national animal is the Zebra, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Codska is ranked 32,398^th in the world and 1,115^th in The North Pacific for Safest, scoring 108.04 on the Bubble-Rapp Safety Rating.
